Should all teachers be technologically literate?

I think all teachers should be technologically literate. Whether teachers want to admit or not the technology age has dawned and is at high noon and there is no longer a way to escape it unless you want to live with the amazon tribes...and even they are being broadcast on documentaries. A teacher by definition is someone who needs a learner...how can you expect students to learn if you are not willing to learn yourself? Today, in order for a teacher to effectively communicate and connect with a student a teacher needs to at least be familiar with current communication devices and try to incorporate them into the classroom so that instead of competing with them teachers can use them to better their students. How can we better prepare students for the future if we aren't even a part of the present?
