 Read this passage below:
 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. send
