Abstract


As we approach a new era of technology, the internet is revolutionizing the society, our economy and our technological system. No one knows for certain how far or in what direction,the internet will evolve. But, we must not underestimate its importance. In the new age of information,we are learning to magnify brainpower by putting the power of computation wherever we resources are infinitely flexible tools; networked together, they allow us to generate, exchange, share and manipulate information in an many number of ways. he internet, as an integrating force, has moulded the technology of communications and computing to provide instant connectivity and global information services to all its users at very low cost (Swan 2010). Age , gender, race has no place in online education. The main advantage of online learning is that it allows students to participate in high quality learning situations when distance and schedule make on regular learning difficult for them (www.ion.uillinois.edu). But total dependency on online Education cannot be motivate as there are various drawbacks of online education. We cannot always ensure quality Education. Proper infrastructure must be developed to provide online education at cheapest rates and quality of teaching must be ensured.
