Thanks for letting me know that you posted on this subject, Undine.<br /><br />Let's see if Bill Gates is happy to have his children, when they reach college age, plunk themselves down in front of a computer for an "automated" online education. Somehow, I don't think that's going to happen.Historiannhttp://historiann.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-24369400926071588352011-02-08T10:16:37.267-08:002011-02-08T10:16:37.267-08:00EE, that other comment was spam, so I deleted it. ...EE, that other comment was spam, so I deleted it. <br /><br />Bill Gates may not need college, but most people who want an education are not Bill Gates.

Can I just ...Dude -- what is _that_ comment about?<br /><br />Can I just say, who cares what Bill Gates wants in a course? He didn't even bother to finish college. Just because the man is hugely successful does NOT make him an expert on education! He is, however, an expert on creating a near-monopoly situation in his industry, buying out and beating down his competition at every turn. What if we see his desire for one online course over a diversity of courses in the context of his megalith monopolizing near-totalitarian business posture?Earnest Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947000435270263070noreply@blogger.com
