In the field of higher ed, many have asked whether (or when) digital education will replace on-campus education. I wonder the opposite. Cinema never replaced theatre. TV didn't replace radio. I wonder how different digital education will be from classrooms, and where it will lead us.
Interpretation
Digital education may coexist with traditional education rather than replace it.
This quote reflects on the relationship between different forms of education, suggesting that, much like cinema and television did not replace earlier media forms, digital education will complement rather than completely replace on-campus education. It invites curiosity about how both forms will evolve together and what new opportunities may arise from their coexistence.

Every time I wrote fiction, I was discouraged, and every time I wrote nonfiction, I was encouraged.
You may speak but a word to a child, and in that child there may be slumbering a noble heart which shall stir the Christian Church in years to come.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Fortunately or otherwise we live at a time when the average individual has to know several times as much in order to keep informed as he did only thirty or forty years ago. Being "educated" today requires not only more than a superficial knowledge of the arts and sciences, but a sense of inter-relationship such as is taught in few schools. Finally, being "educated" today, in terms of the larger needs, means preparation for world citizenship; in short, education for survival.
