Comment Re:Education and the Poor (Score 1) 151
I have been using the Internet since pre-Netscape days. Here are my views.
- Currently most people remain poor because of lack of a good degree from a top school To some degree this is true.
- Your online University will be giving away for free the knowledge of a good degree from a top school Six years ago this is exactly what the internet was. When Mosaic came out and people really started publishing things online the whole web became an online University. Unfortunatly it did not stay that way.
- Do think the Internet can play a part in leveling the field by allowing anyone who wants to receive a good education An education is what you make out of it. It will take time but good learning resources, even at a post secondary level will one day be online in all fields of study. You will just have to wait for them, or make them yourself.
