Exactly. To clarify, by talent and innovation I didn't just mean the websites that the rest of the world can build. I meant it wrt the empowerment that free MOOC's can provide when it comes to basic education (especially in remote areas where schools are not always existent/affordable) and the possible innovations it could lead to in different sectors outside the realm of software development.
- normloman 13y agoGetting an education isn't just a matter of cost. You need free time to take the classes, a quiet place to study, a family that supports you, and often, a teacher that motivates you to be your best. That's why I don't think MOOCs will change anything. They're great for people who are already educated, and have the resources to teach themselves. The rural poor in developing nations have bigger things to worry about.
