Some people believe that classes, teachers and school buildings will no longer be necessary in the near future because of the Internet and other new technology. 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 connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected 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 thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little 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 learn something from the Internet.

      At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his
schoolmates up to start a babysitting circle.
      Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a
company with a £30000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than 15000 by next summer.
      He set up Peter Backborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, colour term-planner that now
students all over the UK are using.

that I could do a better job and decided to have a go."
      Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies
course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his
business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one
holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money. 
      "Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get
a job to support themselves," he says "I work hard at my company because that is what will
support me next year, after I leave college."
