Online Education and College Degrees at Far Lower Prices is the Future; Virtual Classrooms to Reach 1 Billion People

globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com / By Mike “Mish” Shedlock / December 30, 2012 1:36 AM

I received an interesting email from “James in Arizona” today. James offers this comment on online education.

Greetings from Arizona, Mish,
I ran across this website while exploring various online options for my daughter (in high school, but she’s very computer savvy, so I’m looking for options to expand her interests/basis). It is EdX, an online education group started by Harvard and MIT, but other universities are joining.
Hopefully this online education program will finally put a torpedo in the expense of college.
Have a wonderful New Year, and thanks so much for the effort you put forth on your blog, and educating those like me.
James in Arizona

Virtual Classrooms to Reach 1 Billion People

“In my original ideas about the film, the ministry didn’t know whether there were terrorists out there or not because over the years they had so many counter agents and counter-counter agents out there and agent provocateurs who maybe set explosions to lure people in. The people lost track of whether there really were terrorists or not, but the important thing is the belief in terrorists had to be maintained to allow the ministry to continue to survive. Originally the film was called The Ministry. It was really about the survival of an organism like a great bureaucracy that will do anything to keep itself going.." - Terry Gilliam on Brazil
