II. Read and choose true or false statements
A new university without a library has recently opened in the USA. All the information normally
found in a library is now stored in the university’s computers. Without leaving their computers, users
can send messages and receive information through telephone lines. However, this means that each
student must have access to a computer, and many universities are making this a requirement for
freshmen. College campuses now have computer jacks in every part of the university. Study is no
longer restricted to just one location. Computer bulletin boards are used in the same way as
traditional ones in schools and colleges. The difference is that over 20 million people may have
access to them. If students want to discuss math at 3 am, it’s not a problem. They post messages on
the bulletin board and find other people who want to talk about the same topic.
Technology now means students can get a degree without being on campus. There are people who
are skeptical about this new method of education, but their concerns have had little impact.
