I'd be surprised if a 100% “online” degree ever really replaces a college experience. There is a value to actually being in a classroom or a lab and to interacting face to face. I am sure that this technology will allow more students (and others) to see lectures by really smart, top-tier professors and that will be worked into college course work. But I don't think it will replace actually going to college (at least not for more prestigious degrees).

I agree however most students will not realize those benefits as they don’t have the people skills required. And then only in certain classes with certain teachers who you bond with.
More and more people are unable to find employment so they have more time to educate their spawn. One hell of a lot of 1-12 grades can be done with a computer and a loving parent.
Keep your kids out of the gov.con child prisons. Some will be better off going to a college but most wont and they can pursue a degree cheaply at a comfortable pace while working for a living.
