Ahh, but those things didn't have the MIT name associated with them.
I really can't stand the elite university system. It's not that these schools are bad, just that many others are also good but don't have the brand.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoAre the stories about how awesome places like MIT were in the past wrong, or is it just that these days they're riding on the reputation earned in the 70s?
- barry-cotter 7y agoNeither. MIT was and is awesome. That the Media Lab had a lot of people gifted with PR skills does not detract from the outsized contribution MIT faculty and graduates make in terms of publications, research or economic impact.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoAh, OK. My contact surface with MIT is through a) various old lectures of theirs I watched, and b) the "hot stuff" that I read about (which I guess is mostly from the Media Lab). The former was awesome, the latter not so much.
