Remember, the concept of communications satellites came from Arthur C. Clarke. There is much technology that may be extracted from science fiction, but we have to remember that actual laws of physics must apply in this universe, and not movie physics. =]
It's a fabulous idea, but there is one issue I have. Many people (myself included) learn much better in a classroom than just reading the material for themselves. Wouldn't the online thing hurt those kind of students?
What I am hoping to see in the long run is that the advent of online universities will help check the skyrocketing prices of tuition at standard universities. I think that online universites and standard universities can work together, not one replacing the other.
