MARCH 20189reason what made people around the world learn English makes it essential to learn "Technology". We have already started practical usage of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), holograms and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and going by Moore's law, in a blink of an eye, we would be using these in our day to day lives. Anyone who hasn't already adopted net banking or whatsapp will feel like a dinosaur by 2025.The prime objective of "Educa-tion" is to teach people what is re-quired for them to learn languages, sciences or humanity subjects to help them choose careers. While the choice of careers won't change much, it would not be possible to excel or even survive without being trained in using technology rele-vant to the respective field. The ad-vent of all pervading internet along with powerful devices in everyone's hands also makes it possible for ed-ucation to be imparted anytime, anywhere. The existing "school" model is so last-centuryish which came in existence as the only way a teacher could teach many stu-dents was to bring them all in one room. With information available and accessible on-the-go, it is even easier to customize the content to individual students who can study at their own speed as well.Undoubtedly, Education sector is at the tipping point of being zapped by technology covering all aspects including content, medium and expected outcomes. Just like how manufacturing transformed itself in the last century or banking in the last couple of decades, Education would get completely overhauled over the coming decade. The so-called digital migrants who themselves acquired their education bereft of technology are the last bastion holding the fort of the antiquated education format. As soon as the digital natives take over the education sector it would transform in no time with technology ruling the roost since the millennials don't even know how the world sans technology looks like and they don't have any of the good-old-days hangover to which some of the educationists are desperately holding on.
