21 things we wont' see in education by 2020

I.T. DEPARTMENTS -- OK!

So this is another trick answer. More subtly put: IT Departments as we currently know them.

Cloud computing and a decade's worth of increased wifi and satellite access will make some of the traditional roles of IT - software, security, and connectivity - a thing of the past. What will IT professionals do with all their free time? Innovate. Look to tech departments to instigate real change in the function of schools over the next twenty years.

I wish it were true but I'm not sure we are changing fast enough.
