Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They say that
because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings,
classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine
how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We
should invent a new kind of school that is linked (链接) to libraries,museums, science centres, labs and
even companies. Technological companies should create (创造) learning programs for schools.
Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local (本地的) stations could develop
programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up Web sites to show new
technology so students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the
whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school,and in the office.
Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for
people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use
it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby
ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it
is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well;
and we will all learn something from the Internet.
