Lectures were used to be a way to teach large number of students, but with the technology available for education, there is no longer justification for lectures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the development of the internet, there are various methods for
students
 to gain knowledge these days, and I agree lectures are no longer needed.
One
 of the significant benefits of modern education is that
students
 can study at their own pace. Just like the audience can not pause a film in a movie theatre when
one
 wants to answer nature's call, a student can not let the professor and the whole class wait for him during a lecture. With all the course videos available online, the
students
 can learn these curricula
accordingly
. Whether
one
 needs to take time to process the knowledge he just gained
,
Remove the comma

 or needs to search for some related information and data, he can pause the video whenever he wants. In
this
 way, it makes the study more efficiently.
Moreover
, the various platforms on the internet provide various choices for
students
.
Students
 do not have to stick with
one
 specific instructor anymore. Just like we can choose open classes from any university, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, you name it. The keys to opening the gates of knowledge are in their hands now. For
one
 course, they can choose whomever they like to be their instructor, or they can learn it from two teachers, which can help them study from different perspectives. There is a concern that the development of online education will weaken
students
' communication ability. In
this
 case,
students
 can not physically be in the classroom, which cuts off their chances of face-to-face interaction with other
students
. The challenge comes with opportunities, the internet
also
 provides them with a chance to make friends from all over the world and discuss course-related questions with them. Communicating with friends from different backgrounds and cultures will deepen their understanding of what they just learned. In conclusion,
although
 new ways of teaching might have some drawbacks currently, I firmly believe lectures in big classrooms will be a history for the future young generations.
