Traditional Institutions or Distance Education?

Nowadays people have many facilities to get all the necessary information by pressing the buttons on the computer. That’s the reason some of us think that DE is a great idea to study. On the one hand, in a financial crisis, many people can not pay for their studies in expensive institutions. Because of this, they definitely could not spend money. In addition, the majority of youngers prefer to study through the Internet instead of a traditional college. On the other hand, schools and universities have still great importance until today. The main role is to educate. Some modern universities are changed by new theories of how educate in social view. Besides, a teacher can use many tools as e-board, tablets, data-show etc... To sum up, it seems to me that education are essential to a country, as they represent the future of a nation when everybody will learn a lot of things.
