The advances in technology cause people do not try hard any more. All information that people need is found in the Internet, so they do not need to research and examination data.
Secondly, our children prefer play computer's games and have more fun instead of studying their courses. Today, go to university in some places not valuable as the past. In addition, people prefer to earn more money to have more education.
