Abstrakt: AbstractI was born when first digital computer ENIAC was being unveiled. Since then, we have moved through several ages of computer evolution: mainframes, minicomputers, personal computers (microcomputers), and Internet. Within the Internet age starting in late 1980s, there have been several stages of an unprecedented electronic evolution or revolution which can be labelled as e-mail, e-commerce, e-government, and now e-education. Back in 1998, I thought e-Commerce will never take off. Much to my surprise, not only did it take off, it has grown faster than traditional commerce. Most people are now skeptic about e-Education taking off. This preface article is an attempt to articulate what has happened and what lies ahead.
