Will technology replace or significantly alter the standard university or
college?
That is two questions: Significantly alter... without a doubt, depending
upon how you define "significantly." Replace... again, depending upon how
you define college or university. If you are thinking about Jr.
Colleges, some of which are much like trade schools, I'd say yes. If you
are talking traditional university education, I belive "no way." After
all, the classical university education has weathered eras (industrial,
information, etc.) after having dated from the Greeks and Romans.
What and how we learn about things and technology changes with things and
technology. What and how we learn about the human condition is as
timeless as the human condition.
