With increasing globalization and technological advancement, the world has woken up to the benefits of online education. While distance education is rising in popularity, I hold that it should be viewed as an alternative method of acquiring knowledge. It cannot and should not replace traditional classroom education.

Technological advancement has really a great impact on our lives. It is evident in the field of distance education. It feels nice to hear that there is a developing alternative method for people to pursue education outside the school or college premises. Distant education is now widely accepted by both students and educators, since it is convenient and there are also various other benefits for both parties as well as the government and the business sector. But, there are some people who believe be it distant education, online education, or interactive education, can't beat or replace traditional classroom education, even if it be an indication of the globalisation and progress.
