Richard Miller

Dr. Miller brought up a great point of how we can now communicate instantly globally. It is unbeleivable to think about how anything I write on my blog is on the web for anyone to see. He started off the videocast or video by talking about books and how he grew up working with books. Now you can buy the virtual version of the book online for a much lower price for a book you might not open but twice.

He pointed out all the incremental changes of technology in example the way we can put books online and it last forever. Anything that was online years ago is still there. Even wikispaces you can change but still are there when you are done.

The whole presentation just blows me away but goes on to say that he can not teach what he is showing. He was showing a print, visual, audio document in which several screens were shown at once, telling you everything that you could access. He discusses iTunes u and the success it has had.

Completly amazed by this video. Loved the last thing he said, The university is for ideas that belong to noone.
