text: This story told me alot. It told me what a computer could do that i never knew about which is surprizing. I just told my story about how i'd feel about all this new technology. That story was interesting and I think that I would probably use that one day. If I would use it I would be careful with it. Distance learning is an extravagant way of learning for those who don't necessarily have an easy option to go to public schooling. Even though some argue that the social interactions experienced at school help build a person's character; there are many cases where large classrooms actually cripple a student's potential. Distance learning has many benefits such as for people living in rural areas where transportation can be an issue. Distance learning students who have a hard time in social environments can find themselves excelling in the privacy of their home. Less school days would be missed due to the fact that outside weather conditions and school conditions would not be an issue. Also, less money would have to be poured into the transportation system and can be focused on other important aspects of the education system.
