Getting an education [links]
The Internet has decimated the distribution system in a whole range of industries - newspapers, advertising, ideas sharing, communication, telecommunications etc. Education hasn't been spared either. There are hundreds of online courses that offer specialised or general education courses, (Khan Academy, Coursera are a couple of examples). It has spawned what are called MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) from the likes of Harvard, Stanford, & other big-dollar universities, who don't want to lose their advantage (& their revenues). Adding to the list, MRUniversity is offering a free economics education. Here's a current collection of 530 free online courses, something might catch your fancy!
