wow. this is amazing. such vitral hatred toward colleges. I can see however why colleges maybe obsoelte. I watched physics from stanford berkeley MIT all free on youtube. professor leonard susskind asked "how many people in room" about 100.
how many people are on Net 2-4 billions people. anyone anytime anywhere any computer connected to web can see lecture for free. I could see if you can see it for free. why would anyone pay $50k for classes when it if all free.
