What's with the sudden surge of articles about higher education going obsolete? This article isn't even about that. It's that the methods available to help people learn are in a constant state of flux and that MIT is helping lead the way with it's Fab Labs. From the closing of the article: "The MITs of the world are far from obsolete, but instead of draining brains away from where they are most needed, these institutions can now share not just their knowledge but also their tools, by providing the means to create them. Rather than advanced technological development and education being elite activities bounded by scarce space in classrooms and labs, they can become much more widely accessible and locally integrated, limited only by the most renewable of raw materials: ideas."
