whenever you ask a smart person in tech what the hardest industries are to "disrupt" these days they always say healthcare and education. healthcare has so much money and inertia in it that nothing will happen fast. but education, otoh, is ripe. all students have access to computers and phones, which was never the case. it won't be changed by a single good idea, but if you believe in Steve Case's Third Wave idea, then education is the place to look

I think healthcare and education are very similar in this respect though and hence both equally difficult to disrupt. Even given the presence of connected mobile devices college classes still require 200 dollar text books. Both of these industries are pretty well entrenched and their costs far outpace inflation.
