A bit of survivorship bias here, if I may... the really crappy stuff from any non-current era does not get posted and reposted periodically here.

- donw 6y agoI don't think so. My father taught English, and had a long-standing rant about how universities since about the 80s or so produced writers that were amazingly talented at using a thousand words to say absolutely nothing.
- 1shooner 6y agoRight, consider the thousands of hours of online technical training content on Udemy, etc. Much of that is very clear, well-paced, and precise. Conversely, watching any number of peppy newsreels on e.g. British Pathe[1]. They're just as blaring and superficial as any contemporary correlate.

- machinelabo 6y agoIt’s unfair to compare a college course to traditional TV media. College courses in the 80’s were similar to Coursera too. I urge you to watch news channels from the 80s. Literally every TV media was degraded from Discovery channel to History channel.
