5. Lưu Van Liet upper secondary school English group teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but it is hard for me to imagine a world without schools. In fact, we need to look at how we can use new technology to make schools better not to eliminate them. We should invent a new kind of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, laboratories, and even corporations. Corporations ought to create learning programs for schools in their area of expertise. Independent experts could give talks on video or over the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programming about things students are actually studying in schools. Laboratories could set up web sites to demonstrate new technology so students could view it on the Internet. Is this just a dream? No. Already there are several towns where this is beginning to happen. Blacksburg, Virginia, is one of them. Here the entire city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the community. The schools provide computer labs for people at home. Because everyone has Internet access, older people participate as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit distant libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones.

Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well as we will all learn something ¡in the process. 21. It can be inferred from the passage that___ A. schools are not unnecessary.
