Some people believe that schools will be no longer necessary in the future.They said that because of the Internet and other new technology，there is no longer any need for school building，classes or teachers.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 that is connected to libraries，museums，science centers，labs and so on.And learning programs should be created for schools.Teachers could give lessons online.TV network and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying at school.Labs could set up websites to show new technology so that students could see it on the Internet.
Is it a dream？No.There are already 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 who don't have their own computers at home.Because everyone can go on the Internet，older people use it as much as younger ones.And it's very easy for everyone to visit faraway libraries and museums.How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning？It is too 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 all learn something from the Internet.
