Not much. Having the class assembled electronically and having the
students on audio only is well within present technology. I do not
know how expensive having classes run as video conferences would be,
and there might be a bandwidth problem, but it is feasible. I cannot
see the problem as worse than picturephones; after all, we do not need
the pictures to be even as good as current television, except for
possibly the presentation of computer information, which can be
preplanned.
