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 (连接) 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 websites to show 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 schools and 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 easily. 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.
