Over the past 2 decades we have seen the internet take over the world. We get our news, sports updates, weather reports, clothes, appliances, taxes, you name it; the internet has something to offer. Now, when you turn on the television we see the internet even offering online education. But the question that remains with all online sources is whether we can trust it. Can we trust online education? The answer is Yes! We can trust online education because the internet was created to not just make life easier, but it was created to adjust to the changes of our society, lifestyle and culture. Not only should we trust it, but we should learn to trust it. Online Education has giving people the opportunity to educate themselves no matter what circumstances they may face. From being house mom's, army wives or handicapped, online education is giving us the opportunity to expand our horizons. Especially with the decrease of education within the states, online education now opens the doors for anyone to go back to school and educate themselves. How many stories have we come across in which adolescent mistakes caused lives to be ruined? How many teen pregnancies took our students out of high schools? We complain about the decrease of education in our society, yet we pose no second chances for those who wish to undo the bad choices they've made in their lives. Online education now opens the doors for these and many more people to take back what they lost and thought was un-important. We should trust online education because today is the day where we can virtually sit in the classroom of some of the greatest scholars; and it wouldn't matter if he/she where thousands of miles away. Today, mom's with two children running around the house, can sit down at her home computer and not worry about her kids disrupting the classroom or whether they're at home safe or not. Yes, we can trust online education.
