Thereby it will have a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of Online Education. Over the past several decades the rapid technological advancement has had an impact on every aspect of human life and education has been one of the most important beneficiaries of this phenomenon. However as technology continues to take a central role in today's society, educational experts and professionals have raised concerns on the possible impacts that this will have not just on the system but also on the students and the society as whole. Some critics arguing that technology would in the future replace human intelligence. This, they argue would be as a result of the assumption of control by technologies over a considerable measure of undertakings and capacities that educators have been educating their students in the conventional education system. It is the position of this paper that despite the rise of technology and the central role it is now playing in the society, Education faces no threat, rather with the changing world; technology will only be driving force behind the restructuring of the education model as it aligns itself to the global changes.
