Calm Before The Storm
Question: What do you get when you combine:
- Millions of students addicted to Napster
- Millions of soon-to-be-college-freshmen itching to join the high speed P2P r evolution–and bitter that they missed so much of it.
- Advanced technology to allow decentralized search and retrieval of arbitrary information
- Easy to use collaborative environments for building web sites
- A dearth of available and highly skilled notetakers for college classes, combined with third party resellers becoming the only source of such notes
- A near-complete lack of well-summarized study material to accompany textbooks
- Extraordinary textbook costs
- Fair Use
- Work that’s going to be done anyway…quarter, after quarter, after quarter…that seems to evaporate entirely.
- Information Wants To Be Free
- Information Wants To Live Forever
Teachster. It’s coming. More on this later.
