For decades, studies of income levels have shown that the more education you have, the more money you earn. Now, add computer literacy to that relationship, according to a study conducted by the Centre for the Economics of Education in London.

Those workers who have mastered word processing, email and programming tend to earn more than those who haven't, according to the study.

Wonder how much knowing how to text message is worth.
