I. INTRODUCTION
This assignment is two-fold, where we are designated to evaluate the impact of the Web from the article “Will the Web Kill Colleges by Zephyr Teachout, and then I will address the effects of the net for the “Tax Service Industry,” as both are adjacent to the evolving online landscapes and the shifts and challenges facing brick-and-mortar organizations today. Accordingly, I will argue the pros and cons of the business implications the web has on e-business vs. brick-and-mortar organizations because it is ubiquitous and how we communicate, and our online behavior has led to a tremendous need for a new wave of information. Whether the ground-breaking scheme is an enhancement or travesty, the bottom line is we live in the technological era, and we cannot extricate the effects and causes of internet (web), nor its trepidations and accomplishments.
II. SUMMARY
In response to “Will the Web Kill Colleges?” by Zephyr Teachout (Chaffee, p.91). The author explores more as to why the virtual classroom will replace the physical classroom. He gives a couple examples and situations as to why he believes this to be so. I will state the main idea behind his reasoning and then elaborate on it. 1. Online classes are more economical to produce. When choosing a college or university, one of the top factors that are looked at is price and it 's no secret that college is expensive. Whether or not one is paying in-state tuition or out-of-state tuition, it 's not inexpensive. And with the tough economical times bestowed upon America, if people are looking to cut back and control spending, online courses may be the right way to go. For example, as cited in the article, East Carolina offers an on-line undergraduate
