QuoteIn his new book, The End of College: Creating the Future of Learning and the University of Everywhere, Carey envisions a future in which "the idea of 'admission' to college will become an anachronism, because the University of Everywhere will be open to everyone" and "educational resources that have been scarce and expensive for centuries will be abundant and free."

I heard this yesterday on NPR and while I was intrigued with the subject matter, the author clearly did not do his homework.
Pun not intended.

Brick and mortar schools will be mostly be replaced by information technology eventually.  Rising college tuition and high school per pupil costs are accelerating that change.
