     Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They say that because of the Internet and other technology,there is no longer any need for school building.classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day,but if the world didn't have schools,I can't imagine(想象) how our society will be. In fact,we should learn how to use new technology to make school better.We should invent a new kind of school that is linked (连接 ) to  libraries , museums , science  centers ,labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things that students are studying in schools. Labs could be set up on websites to show new technology so students can see it on the Internet.Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet,and learning can take place at home ,at school,and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and society. The schools provide computer labs for people without computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet,older people use it as much as younger ones,and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. 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.Technologv will change as well;and we will all learn something from the Internet.
