| Im still thinking of my own thoughts on this topic. Whilst I try and grapple with this notion and potential implications I would like to ask a question of my fellow HN'ers. ( especially those who have posted so far ) Have you been to university? Do you have a degree or something else from a university? I ask these questions as I think its important to get a little background of the person who is posting there views. I do have a degree in "Information Technology no less Majoring in Data communications". My gut feeling is, there will always be a place for universities. I further believe there will be a huge growth market in self paced study via the internet which will not be linked primarily to universities. Further more, I want to believe that universities will be geared more towards those who are able to "do it for themselves". "do it for themselves" - I believe will get taught / inspired at school ( high school etc ) via social networks and via social / console games to a point. I think the future is bright for learning. |
