You are not taking into account disruptions

A student in Finland with a low cost PC and the early Internet at hand caused a disruption in the IT market which we know today as Linux.

Millions of Education enabler devices (I do not call them laptops because this is an educational solution not an IT solution). in the hands of knowledge hungry kids in places all over the world. I see here a huge potential for disruption of the Education arena.

Analysis based on extrapolating current or previous trends have very little opportunity to catch disruptions in the making, it is necessary to think out of the box.
