text: The future is coming with all new toys and gadgets to make our lives "simpler" and "easier", but who wants the boring life of everything being handed to them?                         Distance learning through video conferencing or online is a great benifit to students. It allows for any students who may be very ill for a long period of time to not fall behind anf stay caught up with other students. It also is great for people who may need to travel out of town, they would still be able to understand what is going on in their classes. Lastly, it allows student who's grandparents or parents need to be taken care of to stay home and take care of their gardeiens, while staying up to date with their education. Distance learning is a great way for students going through hard times, making it difficult for them to get to school, to stay caught up with their classes. If distance learning was not available, it would make education very difficult for those who have health promblems or home problems. Education is ver important in our country, it keeps people from being homeless and help our country industrialize even more. When people do not get a good education that can be adaptable to their lifestylr, often times it can end up in homelessness and great a more rigid class structure.
