Online education, is it the future of education?

In the last decade we have seen the greatest development in technology, especially in the area of Info technology. Nowadays, we can use the internet to do almost anything we want. Education on the other hand, has always been an important part of all societies; thanks to the internet we are now living in a global society. My question to you all is, should we embrace online education as a way of learning?

There are two ways in which you can look at is. Academic and non academic education. For academic, I believe partially yes. For non academic, NO!

I don't agree. I still believe that nothing makes up for that classroom experience, the person-to-person discussions, the spirit of competition, etc. Maybe the internet can HELP reduce the distance and make the world smaller, but it can never replace the experience that you gain by being in the place physically. No amount of photographs or videos can make up for the realities right?
