According to www.webometrics.

info, there are more than 17 000 universities, but getting a degree in
many of them is quite costly. Many students around the world(and their families) get into big debt or
have to work over sixty hours a week in order to afford an education.
Two thirds of the US college seniors who graduated in 2011 had student loan debt, with an average of
over 27 000 USD per person. Reading those statistics I cant stop thinking about those words from over
30 years ago:
With mass education, it turned out that most people could be taught to read and write. In the same way,
once we have computer outlets in every home, each of them hooked up to enormous libraries, where
you can ask any question and be given answers, you can look up something youre interested in
knowing, however silly it might seem to someone else. Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov died in 1992, but if he could see the opportunities that the Internet is giving us in XXI
century he would probably grin from ear to ear. Getting a degree in an university might be expensive,
but there are much better options. There are many websites on the Internet that now offer FREE of
charge learning materials. Now even the poorest people could afford to be better educated than many
of Harvards graduates, all they need is access to a computer(does not even have to be personal one, it
could be the one that the local library offers for public use)
