The idea of us working, learning, and living without indivisual automoblies is becoming to look like a huge possibilty. The fact that there are communties taking part in this act, reducing polution and clutter, show that this very well could be part of a change for us and the way we live. With the owner-ship of automobiles and drivers liscenses going down in america, Mimi Sheller, a sociology professor at Drexel University and director of its Mobilitier Research center, stated that "Different things are converging which suggest that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shift".         Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. Students will not benefit from being able to attend classes from home at all. Taking video conference classes can be hard; the WiFi going out, hard to see what the teacher is writing, and hard to hear what the teacher is saying. The students attending video conferencing classes will possibly struggle to learn and pass the classes. Some students will find it hard to focus and end up doing something other then paying attention to the class.
