There are lots of countries and places where individuals do not have great access to education. By participating in an online lesson, you are indirectly participating in the improvement of technology, which will eventually open avenues for people in poorer countries to be able to learn arts, mathematics, science and a whole host of other disciplines.
There have already been talks about loading an entire school’s syllabus on tablets and shipping them off to poorer countries to help individuals learn and improve their education system!
By participating in an online lesson, you are joining those who actively improve this technology.
The more demand there is, the more seriously governments and large companies will take remote, online learning in the arts.
