This millennium is an era of innovation and change, and this change is not limited to any specific industry rather it is wrapping around every walk of life. Education is no different. Traditional boundaries between different educational specializations are fading away. This disruptive trend has given birth to many professions which were never thought of before, for example medical physicists, computational biologists, computational historians etc. One common aspect in all of these different interdisciplinary educational specializations is that technology, specifically computational technology is taking center stage. This is now no surprise that the future will be shaped by the people who will have the capability of working with these computational machines, also known as Computers. As a learning facilitator, I encourage our youth to embark on the journey of thinking and to build an ability to question what are the limits of current technology and how to make a dent in those limits.
