Abstract
This talk is pretty far afield from the other talks that will be presented at CIMA. Last year, I was asked (by Peter Sincak) to write a forward for the book "Quo Vadis CI". I struggled with it, but finally, produced the forward, and then gave a talk based on it at the COIL meeting in Chios, Greece. This talk is based on that forward and talk, and quickly passes by any technical issues that might be challenges to Computational Intelligence in the 21st century. Instead, I will use my platform to discuss the evolution of our educational system in the brave new world of electronic communications. The future of science is, as always, in the hands of education. Computational Intelligence is part of science, so will be pulled along for the ride. In my view, the ride ahead will be very bumpy indeed.
