So, Kahn Academy, eh? But seriously, I think the biggest problem with this "future of education" proposal is that it STILL assumes that we consume education, and that all people need all the education. With a digital tutor, fine-tuned to my learning styles, what if I still don't give a shit about understanding partial differentiation? At some point, education has to be about more than an accumulation of knowledge. For my money, I see the future of education going back to apprenticeships and well-timed opportunities for growth rather than new ways to shovel the Knowledge into the brain holes of children.

Maybe Kahn Academy but more likely Stamford's https://giftedandtalented.com https://giftedandtalented.com. As the cost of a good education declines it could diminish as a test of capability. That leaves the test of actual practice in the art - an apprenticeship. Broadly I agree that apprenticeship is a likely model if what you are learning is the trade of discovering a market for your creativity. The market will determine if creativity is improved when primed with a broad or narrow education.
