The internet is taking over

Check this out.

Its a site that provides tutorials for almost every software imaginable, certainly the ones I would be concerned with.

AWESOME

But it got me thinking... wow, the internet is about to put schools out of business... I mean really, I never pay attention in class, and if the powerpoints were ever available online, you can forget about me actually going to class. I mean really, if the entire class was online? You'd have to be a really good fucking teacher, right?

Right.

So THAT got me thinking....

Maybe this is going to bring back the really good fucking teacher.

I've only had a handful of really good fucking teachers in my life, but they had a profound effect on me. If the market for teachers is overall not particularly necessary (especially for the BUMS that regurgitate info from the book to you and then test your knowledge by asking a random question from the footnotes of pg. 76), there will only be room for really really GOOD fuckin teachers. The type of teacher that teaches you how to learn. Or the type that makes you understand things quicker and easier than you could have on your own. Or the type that actually enjoys what they do (whoa).

And maybe people will stop bowing to "higher education" as the ultimate symbol of success... and instead looking at it as an educational tool. Imagine that.
