'School of the Air' radio signs off in New South Wales

Another sign of the changing times we're living in: in New South Wales, Australia, the School of the Air has just signed off for the last time.

The School of the Air has been educating students in remote areas using radio broadcasts for the past 50 years.
But satellite technology has now taken over.

Every isolated student now has a computer with a camera, scanner and broadband access at home. This means they can how have virtual classes giving them full-screen vision of their teacher.
