Open source Education

Just another little comment on education…These intertubes things are useful for stuff beyond downloading terabytes of pron you know.  Things like Khan Academy and Youtube provide huge amount of instructional material right at your finger tips.  Both of my daughters are constantly looking stuff up and learning from videos.  For instance Audrey has become somewhat of an expert at doing nails and making stuff with the sewing machine her grandmother gave her.  Natalie comes up with strange science experiments.

The reason I mention this to you parents is this: think long and hard about the future and the education of your children.  The days of the school house that we went to are over.  The days of Colleges are numbered.  What will take its place hasn’t quite been formed up but you can see the outline already.
