[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges are digging their own grave by gouging young people when teaching can be so easily revolutionized and inexpensive with technology.[/quote] Technology has been available for a long time. Its called a book. A hundred years ago, people would get law degrees by just passing a test, after doing the study themselves from books. Once you have a book, all the rest of "technology" is just a small change. You need to ask yourself: since the technology has always been there, why are four year colleges still so helpful in increasing income expectations? If colleges aren't really selling knowledge, what are they selling? Then ask if "technology" can replace that. Frankly, I think what they are selling is mentoring from intelligent, experienced, older men and women that are not relatives. That and friends that they make in school. I don't think "tech" can either really provide any of these things to the human animal.[/quote]
