Some Observations
•
Majority of the top 70 companies in the US in
1946 are no longer top companies today
•
(Almost) ALL of the top 70 universities in the
US in 1946 are still top universities today
Higher education institutions are conservative,
with large inertia
Higher Education has changed in the past 70 years
The changes are accelerating recently
•
Development of new technologies
•
Globalization
Impact of new technologies (personal stories)
My wife Mei and Zhigang’s wife Denian are “classmates”
Mei is also learning French
and German using Duolingo
(developed by CMU faculty
member Luis von Ahn)
Mei and kids sometimes learn
new things through TED Talks
ALL FOR FREE!!
