Educators in every country except Russia tend to be constitutionally timid, and, either by their income or by their snobbery, to be adherents of the rich. On both grounds their teaching tends to over-emphasise the importance of the law and the constitution, although these give the past a paralysing hold over the present. By reaction against this over emphasis, those who desire any radical improvement in the world are compelled to be revolutionary, and the revolutionary’s conception of duty to the community is liable to be just as narrow, and in the long run just as dangerous, as that of the advocate of law and order.

Online learning appears to be this technology enabler for higher education. It is for the first time disrupting higher education—and indeed helps explain much of the rapid growth in the up-start for-profit higher education sector over the last 10 years, even as many colleges and universities have struggled financially and had to cut back. Roughly 10 percent of students in 2003 took at least one online course. That fraction grew to 25 percent in 2008, was nearly 30 percent in the fall of 2009, and we project it will be 50 percent in 2014

Managers who focus on gross margins will miss the opportunity at the bottom of the pyramid; managers who innovate and focus on economic profit will be rewarded.
The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid By C.K. Prahalad and Stuart L. Hart
The first instinct of a journalist when they hear your story is to reach for the “compare & contrast” story. No journalist wants to publish your press release or print what you tell them verbatim without saying, “while this new company is plotting a brave new world, but there are some storm clouds. Their competitors have already made some progress – here’s what they do and why it won’t be a one-horse race.” It’s almost a requirement of journalism – in part because that’s also what readers want.
