An old friend of mine is very happy and proud to demonstrate to all his senior friends how he can get immediate answers to questions by just speaking to his phone. (Ask Google ) Students of today, use online courses to help them in their studies and working adults can upgrade themselves with niche online course to improve their career. Personally, I have a number of friends who have completed their master's degree online.
