I'm a graduate student in the sciences and every biology, chemistry and physics class that I took had a lab, except the evolution class. You could put the lectures online, but universities will never be completely replaced, as long as people want to learn science or do research.
- lightcatcher 15y agohmm, at Caltech (my school) the courses are very much divided into either lecture courses or lab courses, and the phys/chem/bio majors probably have 2/3 lecture classes and 1/3 lab classes. The lecture only classes could very easily be put into an online format.

This would lower the barrier for innovation significantly.
