Technology is on the verge of fundamentally reshaping the American education system.
In particular, the technology to deliver full-length courses online is rapidly becoming a reality. The creation and delivery of courses over the Web will be the driving force for educational change in the 21st century. Quality universities will put their names on these courses, and companies will create them, guaranteeing employment to those who pass them. This will create tremendous change for everyone involved in the education system. The teaching of traditional academic subjects, first in high school and later in elementary school, will be increasingly done via online courses.
