A "humans have always done it" advertisement for modern Internet "education":
"As you might have imagined, there are a lot of parallels between this and the internet in the education wave. Just like RCA, MOOCs (Coursera, Khan Academy, MIT OCW, and Stanford Online) let a kid anywhere access lectures from the best professors in real-time, no longer limited by what's available locally. Both waves bundled hardware and infrastructure, like Chromebooks and Raspberry Pi kits, with a promise of modernization. And finally, both seemed to arrive against the backdrop of a broader consumer technology boom."
