Fifty years from now in a galaxy not so far away...you will be sitting in the convenience of your bedroom. Then suddenly, an alarm goes off at 8:55 am. You get up from where you are sitting and move from your bedroom to the office, where you have your computer and a big screen set up. A notification pops up at precisely 9 am sharp on your computer screen. You press 'accept' on the screen, and then a hologram of your professor pops up on the left side of your room. Then the projector from your computer turns on and points to the screen revealing the PowerPoint slides. You are listening to the professor to go through the slides of the class topic for the day. You are taking notes on your computer or notebook as the lesson continues. If you have a question, there is a red button to press to notify the processor. He or she stops immediately to allow you to ask your question on the speaker that is next to the red button. This cycle continues until the hour and a half long class is over. The homework assignment is immediately displayed so it can be accomplished before the next class. You leave the room to get changed for work after setting a reminder on your mobile device to finish the homework when your shift is done.

That is how I see the future of our education in the next fifty years
