Technology Improving Education?

Economist magazine had its first debate on "The continuing introduction of new technologies and new media adds little to the quality of most education". I think that most of the readers were right when they voted against the motion i.e. new technology adds to the quality of most education.
Will Durant aptly pointed out "Education is the Progressive Discovery of your Ignorance". Education is not just something that you learn in the classroom but it is a continuous learning process about different elements of life and sciences during ones lifetime. Technology is definitely providing the tools to aid and enhance this learning experience. The advent of the Internet and digital media, has helped connect the different parts of the globe in ways that was never thought possible just a few decades ago. This connectivity has led to information being readily accessible aiding in the learning process. Also this availability of information and connectivity has provided opportunities for entrepreneurs to come up with new ways to provide knowledge and education. Companies now provide distance education and live teacher student interactions remotely. Students and teachers are remotely connected by a computer and a web-camera. Not only are the students being thought about the subject matter, but this remote interaction helps teachers and students learn about each other cultures and traditions leading to a more diverse experience.
