RETURN TO THE FUTURE OF COMPUTING

Today's computer, no longer a luxury item as such in fifty years ago, has long become a necessary tool of our daily life. The innovative ideas that computing has brought to us have totally changed the way we envision the world. During the past when telephony is the only direct venue for connecting with friends or families. Today, computers have replaced the role telephone plays. The traditional ideas of using a telephone to make phone calls has changed in light of the advancement of computer software system such as Skype. It is not exaggerating to say that the computing era has arrived.

While computer applications kept penetrating into our world, the evoluation of education of Computer Science is imminent. Tradition computer science subjects such as Operating System, Compiler, Programming Languages, Database, or even Communications and Networking, can no longer quench the desires of today's learners about computers.
