E Learning 

I really love the idea of e learning :) (partly it is because I get to stay at home to do it) Well, that being just part of it, I think that, learning should not only take place in the classroom as it will be very suffocating to just learn the so called "textbook details". What we learn will only be so limited as it is only what is being said in the textbook and nothing else. However, by the time we graduate and get out into the working world, are those information that we learnt during our study days still relevant? I am afraid not, looking at the rate the world is changing now.
E learning is more superior in a way that we can actually outsource from many sources to get the information we want, and from there get a more objective idea of it. In addition to this, we can also use youtube to search for educational videos that are being uploaded by fellow youtubers. My favourite being crashcourse and asapscience :) Search them and watch just one video. From there you should be able to tell the reason. They provide clear explanations on the subjects as well as included beautiful drawings and also good animation to make it more pleasant to look at and make learning more fun (far from the boring black and white writings commonly found in textbooks)

I guess the future digital classroom will be somewhat like e learning being made on a greater scale. People will mostly be siting behind their screens or if the Microsoft surface technology could be made into a bigger success, it will be cool if people could just touch a screen like thing that appears when we need it, and from there search for what we want to search just by a single touch. Something like this will be cool:) Learning will be made more convenient and easy. Hence encouraging more people to be educated

Speaking of Microsoft surface technology, I realised this is the technology that they used when they launched the Windows 8, which allows people to actually be able to touch the screen of the laptops and computers just like if it were a tablet. The idea seems cool but sadly, there were many bad reviews on it to the extent that I saw a link titled "which product launch was a bigger disaster" with Microsoft Surface being the one sadly. There is still a possibility of it being a success in the future though, Microsoft just have to pay attention to the criticisms of the current surface technology and find a way to improve it :)
