I saw this and am personally interested. One thing I have noticied is that when it comes to the way that college is changing the system of how it is being thought of differently compared to the past (you know the days of attending university being associated with the beer drinking party kids is on the decline) is that so called non traditional college practices are generally being targeted to older students (such as those who want a career change or so forth).

This makes me however wonder about the large amount of younger traditional aged students who themselves would also benefit from these new technologies an ideas. For example I know a ton of young people (17-25) who are very smart and what not but can not go to traditional university due to financial reasons or other obligations that they already have and it seems that besides the standardized political debates that no one is addressing this problem.

So my question is what do you think the best free market way is there to help younger aged studies to take advantage of these technologies when it comes to university studies?

The beauty of the technological explosion unleashed by the internet is that most of these things can be had for free or close to it. The value of college is the signal. Period. Every other aspect can be had better and cheaper els

Personally in respect to what you said I agree whole heartily when you look at what technology has done. I mean look at 3d printing has done for manufacturing.

However I guess my next question is how can we get to the point where more people understand that it is just a signal since as we agree you can gain the knowledge on your own. I mean heck look at computers, you can spend 10k to get a CS AA degree or just read up on it (since there is a lot of free documentation online and at libraries) but the problem is that the RedHats, Apples, and so on want that signal that we spoke of (although I will add to their credit that the tech community is relatively better at this).

So what will it take for Fortune 500 companies and even mom and pop companies to step back and realize this "signal" phenomenon and get to the point that they say "welp I guess we need to really rethink our requirements when it comes to hiring"
