Three education related sites released this year:
In addition to the programming initiatives at Khan academy and MIT OCW that existed already.
We have dropouts/people who never went to college holding high positions (work with a bunch of such guys on open source projects) Why would people even go to college once this becomes mainstream?
If the guy who gave people a reason to buy a computer says this, it must be true.
I'd rather just believe that it's done by little elves running around.
