Perhaps you have heard of the latest trend in education, wherein a professor at Stanford or whatever makes a bunch of Youtube videos, puts together some handouts, and puts it all on the web at a site called Coursera, which has dozens of "free" online classes
Students who "cannot look at a computer screen and find stuff"? Give them a joystick that lets them shoot the shit out of it, and they can find it in half a second.
This is great. I'm pretty sure Gubnor Big Chief Pretty Hair Perry will allow me to watch a Youtube video of Ted Nugent shooting automatic weapons for my weapons safety portion of my concealed handgun license renewal.
Could be worse. Silver Streak was filmed between Brampton and Toronto Ontario, and they didn't even try hard to disguise it, there's Scatman Crothers saying "Hello Chicago!" with the CN Tower right there. Pathetic.
Aha! A subject that I have some expertise on, as I am currently teaching an online World Religions course at the high school level. As always, I am gobsmacked at the total cluelessness of some of the students, who cannot seem to be able to look at a computer screen and find stuff. Or read directions. Or click on the right things. Online is fine for some kids, but for many, it is a waste of theirs and mine fucking time. And if only they would realize what suited their learning styles and get the hell out, so that I could focus on the kids who can actually do something worthwhile there, well, that would be great.
What's so big, it needs a wheelbarrow?

I am betting that there are printed versions of these things that would be far more useful and educational.
I get that some people might learn better by listening to someone drone on, but personally, give me the printed materials every time.
Allow me to translate your post into twitter-ese:
U no if we cud reduce all knowledge to Tweets it wud prolly take care of everything. #TwitSpeak
Still better than Regent University.
I is a graduate of Porn U! Gimmee a job!
You mean my degree from the University of Maryland University College Online University - Phoenix is not worth the paper I printed it out on?
But I spent hours sleeping in front of my monitor....
I kinda always thought that youTube was the antithesis of thought.
Is there a free on-line Med School? That would solve a lot of health care issues down the road.
I’d like a degree in political sarcasm with a minor in suggestive innuendo please.
