What will the future of our high school students be like? Can we imagine it? Consider the Internet, for example. The Internet has radically changed society. What is strange is that if we read science fiction from the days before the Internet, we will not find any hint of the Internet. Science fiction writers are people who stretch their imagination to reach wild extremes, yet were unable to even dream of the Internet! This means that the future may be so different from today that we are unable to guess what will be. It means that we have to train our gifted students to learn how to think correctly in order to best to deal with the world.

 

We have failed in the past. We have not educated our students in knowing how to do technical work in an industry setting so that they can build defenses like anti-missiles or JSTARS, and consequently, our country is in grave danger. The future may be even scarier. Our responsibilities as educators are serious!

 

Here is a thought of a possible future.

 

In 30 years, computers will be smarter than people.
