PC's and E-learning

Often the criticism that is levelled at E-learning in the vocational education sector is that students will not have access to PC's in the home. Considering that a 300mz PC worth about $200 dollars is actually quite an adequate machine to access the internet this criticism is becoming less and less relevant in the new world order. Much more to the point is the way that the function of the PC in the home is being transformed. Not only are many people myself amongst them turning off free to air television and seeking out a better experience on the Internet manufacturers are also remodelling the PC to be physically a more central part of the home entertainment experience. The media centre PC is a perfect example of this. For the price of a top range consumer PC several years ago One and Co produced has a powerful and attractive entertainment centre that can display high definition television and Internet content similtaneously.
