Too many words, and not enough pictures. Too serious, not enough comedy. In other words, pretty much like my blogposts. And too URLy.

Regarding the future of universities, see ATMs and online banking: 99.9 % of the cash I need and bank transactions I do take place outside of a bank.
I can see that there might be big trouble coming for university campuses as online education comes to the fore. Someday 90% of the education one gets might be outside a college (or seminary) campus.
But, this DOES fall short of the ideal, when we consider the benefits of social community and idea and issue interchange.
Just a little scary. (See the future of newspapers)
