I'm very excited for school to become more decentralized. I really think that this whole notion of waiting until you are 21 to be a productive person in the real world and get a job doesn't make a lot of sense. For many kids, college can be a very expensive waste of time if it's not a line to the things that they're really interested in. So i'm sort of excited for them to start taking charge of their education. That's one thing that's going to be possible beause we'egoing to be reducing, with all the technology, the time that gets et to be in school.
