Imagine many universities, top-tier universities, offering you free tuition, each willing to take you in with open arms to help you develop personally and professionally. Is it hard to imagine, or impossible to imagine? I know it's not easy, and I'm going to blame that on the broken higher education system in America.
I keep running into articles and opinions in the social media sphere attacking the dysfunction of the America higher education system. We may not have the perfect solution for how the US can stand up with the developed countries of the world that offer citizens free education, but MOOCs bring us a step closer.
My Multilingual Morning
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." Nelson Mandela
It was morning in Vientiane, Laos and it was still raining relatively hard. I hadn't planned for such weather, so I decided not to get soaked walking down the street to Le Banneton, Vientiane's premier boulangerie, and instead take my laptop to the lobby, where the wifi signal is strong and time could be wasted while I waited for the deluge to break. I chose a seat next to a pair of West African gents deep in conversation.

Toilet Capitalism and Finding a Niche
Businesses function to meet the needs of their target market by providing goods and services the customers enjoys and appreciates for a reasonable cost. That's nothing new.
Sometimes we encounter a product or service that we neither enjoy nor appreciate, but the merchant still gets our money. There is an obligatory necessity to give your money to the them, no matter how frustrated it makes you. You just can't beat the system.
