In a society that focuses on the comforts of life, the challenges of coping with technological changes may put baby boomers out of their comfort zones. On the other hand, the youth of today have grown up with computers, the Internet and technological gadgets and are at ease with the digital world. The education setting has provided a springboard for this exposure and it has changed the way the classroom is structured. These vast changes have taken on a personal significance for me, as I will be graduating today from the University of Illinois at Springfield having never stepped into a campus classroom. Online education may have challenges not associated with the traditional education, but virtual classrooms do provide a quality education and also a unique learning opportunity to cast aside a few prejudices.
