Some people believe that soon schools will no longer be necessary These people say
that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for
school buildings, formal classes, or teachers Perhaps this will be true one day, but it is hard for me to imagine a world without schools In fact, we need to look at how we can
use new technology to make schools better, not to eliminate them We should invent a new
kind of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, laboratories, and even companies Experts could give talks on video or over the Internet TV networks and local stations could develop programming about things students are actually studying in school
