It is quite clear that one would find it difficult to manage in the world which runs on tech-medium. The ex-act reason what made people around the world learn English makes it es-sential to learn `Technology'. We have already started practical usage of Aug-mented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), holograms and Artificial Intel-ligence (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 `Education' is to teach people what is required 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 sur-vive without being trained in using technology relevant to the respective field. The advent of all pervading in-ternet along with powerful devices in everyone's hands also makes it possi-ble for education to be imparted any-time, anywhere. The existing `school' model is so last-centuries which came in existence as the only way a teach-er could teach many students was to bring them all in one room. With in-formation 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 ex-pected outcomes. Just like how manu-facturing transformed itself in the last century or banking in the last couple of decades, Education would get com-pletely overhauled over the coming decade. The so-called digital migrants who themselves acquired their educa-tion bereft of technology are the last bastion holding the fort of the anti-quated education format. As soon as the digital natives take over the edu-cation 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 desper-ately holding on.
