Session Type: General Session
Advances in integrating the worlds of bits and atoms are challenging assumptions of scarcity that are implicit in the organization of advanced technical education and investigation. MIT's Neil Gershenfeld will discuss the ideas behind this revolution and their implications for improving educational opportunities. Realizing this promise will require revisiting many current practices, including accrediting networks rather than locations, organizing individuals instead of institutions, formalizing informal learning, and creating corresponding career paths.
Video
Live Video and slides from the presentation are being provided through the generous support of Sonic Foundry.
An archive of this video will be available after the session.

#E10_GS02 Gershenfeld: At recent World Economic Forum in China, big discussion about how IP is no longer protectable. Hmmm...
Question re: copyright and reproduction of machines using the trademarked machine. #E10_GS02
Although Gershenfeld book content looks a "bit" like his dynamic presentation. #E10_GS02
