Why are we so stuck to brick and mortar?

I understand why we have used brick and mortar testing for so many years - we had no viable alternatives. But now with innovations in technology it is so much better, secure, affordable etc. yet why do we stick to the past so zealously. I know change can be scary, but really. Paper-based testing in the 21st century for large scale assessements, certification, licensure, or even entrance exams... it does not have to be hard.

Marketing and Online Testing

What role does marketing play and important role in Online Testing? YES. I think that generally people do not understand that online testing can really be secure. It is also very green. Isn't that an important messasage to get out?

Online Testing = Green?

Is online testing green? I think so although some would argue that the actual manufacturing of the computer and its current lack of adequate recycling makes computers a marginally green technology. But unless you are riding your bike or driving your electric car to a testing center to take a computerized test it is clear that testing where you live learn and work is more green that driving to an testing center for a single purpose, by yourself.
