Higher Education About To Be Disrupted Right Before Our Very Eyes

John Geraci — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:54:38 +0000

Earlier this week the NYC-based co-working space General Assembly announced a $4.25 million round of funding, with investors like Yuri Milner and Jeff Bezos participating in the round.

I think of this as the first real shot fired in what is going to become a huge wave of disruption around the world: the disruption of higher education by co-working spaces, accelerators and incubators.

This space is so ripe for disruption. It is like the hotel/motel/rental industry before AirBnB came along – but times a million.

Think about this: going to one of the several new media graduate programs here in NYC for a two-year degree without a scholarship would cost you in the neighborhood of $60,000 (plus living expenses of course). Out of that you get: two years of hard work, access to the top thinkers in your field, feedback and instruction, and a community of like-minded people working alongside you. Coming out you get a great professional network, and a (useless) degree to hang on your wall. If you’ve applied yourself, your work is much stronger as a result, and better career options await you.

Now think about a co-working space / accelerator such as General Assembly: the cost for “going” there is an order of magnitude smaller than $60k. Out of that you get: access to the top thinkers in your field, feedback and instruction, a community of like-minded people working alongside you. Coming out you get a professional network. You don’t get a useless degree to hang on your wall (yet). If you’ve applied yourself, your work is much stronger as a result and better career options await you.

There are lots of little and mid-sized differences between the two of course, but the only BIG difference, if the accelerator is top-notch, is the $60,000 and the useless degree. (And to tell you the truth, I never even bothered to pick mine up from NYU when I graduated.)

I think money is going to pile into this. And I think we will see a giant wave of “new learning” spaces around the world. Some will be great. Some will be awful. But traditional, institutional graduate programs, at least the ones that give you a degree that isn’t essential to a career (like a medical degree) over the next ten years either will wither on the vine or else radically transform themselves to stay alive, becoming much more like accelerators in the process.

And that’s not necessarily good or bad in and of itself (or rather there’s both good and bad in it). I’m not celebrating this or complaining about it. I’m just saying: there’s a huge opening here for a correction and a new way of thinking, and it’s going to happen right before our eyes. Fortunes will be made (or lost), careers will be made, new ways of operating will take root. The smart person would recognize that and take advantage of it, however he/she was positioned to do so.

Beginning of Fall Quarter 2011 at DePaul

Picture of your's truly at the Ref Desk on my first day at least of Fall Quarter 2011. Lots of questions about whether we have textbooks for classes (generally we don't). Plus to add to the excitement, our Chat Reference pooped out for a couple of hours.

Last but not least, Are These Fighting Words? -- a shot of the flavors available at the Bean Coffee Stand at DePaul including the (controversial) "Decaf Librarian's Blend".

Dennis Crowley — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:33:00 +0000

MLB’s AtBat (iPhone app) is using graphics/models from MLB The Show (Playstation 3 game) to substitute for live video (er, they have live video, but you have to pay for it… the “virtual” mode is free)

Compare this with a screenshot of the PS3 game here:

http://www.co-optimus.com/images/upload/image/MLBtheShow2011-batter.jpg

Back in my NYU days (2004) we were scheming up ways to watch MLB and NFL games on our mobile phones… long before any bandwidth / licensing issues were resolved. We were toying around with the idea of using live-data feeds from games and reproducing the action with 8-bit NES sprites - think: watching the Red Sox and Pats play only acted out with RBI Baseball and Techo Bowl graphics.

How awesome would that have been?!

Having a birds-eye-view of a baseball game MMS’ed to your phone (or even set as your phone’s locked-state wallpaper)…

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2337/2522551247_b19084ece1.jpg

Or watching an NFL game on your phone or via browser window rendered like this…

http://www.consoleclassix.com/info_img/Tecmo_Bowl_NES_ScreenShot2.jpg

These days, while the bandwidth issues are figured out, the licensing issues are not (you still can’t watch NFL games via the internet). It’s super smart to see people experimenting w/ using PS3 style graphics to get around some of these restrictions.

Reading List 2011 (11/132)

Jessica Hammer — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 02:14:02 +0000

Recent reading:

Big Machine, Victor Lavalle
Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson
Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray
The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster
The Egypt Game, Zilpha Keatley Snyder
Long Gone, Alafair Burke
The Innocence of Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton
The Wisdom of Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton
The Incredulity of Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton
The Secret of Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton
The Scandal of Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton

I often read thematically. Sometimes I’ll read everything by a single author – which, okay, the complete Father Brown stories, so you can see me doing it right now. Sometimes I’ll get into a particular topic, like Roman history or class in America or what have you. But the theme here, though you probably can’t see it, is “Holy crap, you can get free out-of-copyright books on your e-reader!”

Vanity Fair, for example, is one of my favorite books of all time. I can’t tell you how much it delights me that it’s always accessible, no matter where I am, as long as I’ve got some kind of reading device with me. I like to think Thackeray would have said something witty about smartphones and tablets. Maybe he’d have come up with an extended metaphor about mirrors in which one believes one’s soul to be reflected, but in truth only show one’s face. I can imagine ambitious, clever Becky Sharp texting her lovers, or Amelia Sedley mooning over George Osborne’s Facebook page. I’m surprised no one’s tried to update this particular story a la Cruel Intentions; I think it would hold up surprisingly well.

I read Treasure Island while sailing a boat. Or, more accurately, we set anchor in a little cove off the main channel of the river, and I lay in the sun and read about pirates and treasure and the black spot. I know enough about sailing, now, that I can follow the sailing-specific parts of the adventure, which makes me feel pretty darn cool.

Perhaps the coolest thing in this particular reading list, though, is Lavalle’s Big Machine. I didn’t know much about the novel going in, and I’m not even sure how I heard about it, but it blew me away. The hero, Ricky Rice, is a bus-station janitor on the run from a dark past. He gets mixed up with a secret society and becomes an investigator into supernatural secrets, while having to pick sides in a generations-long feud and stop a terrorist attack. The book reminded me of Colson Whitehead and Haruki Murakami – an offbeat conspiracy that takes issues of race and class and culture very seriously and very lightly at the same time. Highly recommended.

Father Brown remains delightful, but I keep wanting to take Chesterton by the shoulders and shake him and explain that one doesn’t have to be Catholic to be empathetic and perceptive and generous and kind. I think Father Brown is actually a remarkable humanist, who also happens to be a Catholic priest. Unfortunately Chesterton is a little too committed to his point of view to see it.

Finally, The Phantom Tollbooth is even better when re-read as an adult; I suggest you do.

Happy reading!

Picking Up Where We Left Off…

John Geraci — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 20:37:59 +0000

Every year come August I sort of fall off the web for a month or so. It feels great to unplug, and it allows me to update my ideas/positions on things, by letting me distance myself from the ideas I’ve been constantly thinking about for the past 11 months.

This year was no exception. My last post here was over a month ago. Since then, I’ve been canoeing in the back-woods of Canada here (so great, you should all try it), I’ve been road tripping, I grew a beard, I shaved a beard off. All things that August should be about. (I’ve also been working like mad in between all of this. But I haven’t been blogging or tweeting or using any social media.)

Now it’s time to pick up and move forward again.

A lot has changed in a month, on the web, in the world of entrepreneurship, and in the world as a whole. My position in it, and my take on it all, has changed as well. I’ll get into that a bit in the weeks to come.

I’m very excited for this coming year (I count years as beginning in September). I’ve got some things brewing that feel like they’re going to be very good. It’s maybe too early to say for sure just yet, but they have a good feeling.

So: more to come. Look for new posts happening here again regularly, with a whole new outlook on things.

Should be fun!

September in New York – Talks & Demos

Rob Faludi — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 18:53:08 +0000

The next two weeks are going to be lively ones for makers in New York City! Here’s where to find me:

Open Hardware Summit, September 15th — running a breakout session “What Open Hardware Needs from the Cloud,” a discussion on how Internet services can better serve open hardware projects, with Jordan Husney.
Maker Faire New York, September 17th — giving a talk on the Make Live Stage, “Fun with XBees” that showcases the creative projects currently enabled by XBee radios, along with a tour of the tools that you can use to make your own.
Maker Faire: September 17 & 18th — showing several sensor and actuator projects from my book as well as a cool new way to get your devices onto the Internet in the MakerShed demo area.
Strata Conference, September 22nd — demonstrating data sensor networks from the book and new Internet gateway demos.

We’re also launching my Sensitive Buildings class at ITP today plus somebody asked me to be in an Ericsson documentary that according the producer, “aims to tell a compelling story about how we are on the brink to a digital revolution.”

Dennis Crowley — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 22:23:12 +0000

“

When a hurricane makes landfall, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency relies on a couple of metrics to assess its destructive power.

First, there is the well-known Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale. Then there is what he calls the “Waffle House Index.”

Green means the restaurant is serving a full menu, a signal that damage in an area is limited and the lights are on. Yellow means a limited menu, indicating power from a generator, at best, and low food supplies. Red means the restaurant is closed, a sign of severe damage in the area or unsafe conditions.

“If you get there and the Waffle House is closed?” FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate has said. “That’s really bad. That’s where you go to work.”

“A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, “I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS.” The agent replied, “I’m sorry sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these folks first, and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.” The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?” Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. “May I have your attention please,” she began her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. “We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14.””

And seeing these guys (who were 28 at the time?) make it happen was hugely inspiring in a if-they-can-do-it-I-can-do-it type of way. Working all day and then leaving work and seeing random people in the streets/bars/etc using the stuff that you worked on all day was the single most eye-opening thing to happen in my career.
