So, Universities will be teaching mostly online this year, and yet I haven& #39;t seen a single person explain why on EARTH you couldn& #39;t just offer University lectures to everyone for free if the cost is the same???

Make it make sense.

I& #39;m old enough to remember how 20 years ago people were predicting a "digital revolution" because it costs the same to make 1 copy of a PDF than to make 1,000.

Instead of a revolution, what we get is Amazon kindle files you cannot share with anyone.

As Douglas Rushkoff says, we are trying to use an 18th century operating system (the economy) in a 21st century world.

There is no reason to not have everything open software and open teaching. Instead, we have artificial gatekeeping and unworthy degrees.
