Shared article: 21 things that will be obsolete by 2020

"11. 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."

A special thanks to @EthanMead for sharing this interesting article on what one person thinks what the educational system will be morphing into in the near future.  I particularly found great interest in number 11 as it is in my field and right where I am and have been in the past 4 -5 years of providing a "different kind of tech support"

Above is an excerpt from the article, if you are interested in the full article, here you go.
