This specific quote from Sebastian Thrun in a Fast Company article deeply concerned me:<p><pre><code> "These were students from difficult neighborhoods, without good access
to computers, and with all kinds of challenges in their lives," he
says. "It's a group for which this medium is not a good fit."
</code></pre>
I can't be the only one who is disillusioned by this conclusion. I strongly believe that the Internet medium as a whole has the capability of democratizing education, even if MOOCs are not the right answer. A lot of edtech companies are increasing the availability of education, but they're not increasing the motivation surrounding it.<p>First of all, do you think it's possible to do thing that Thrun backed out of? And if so, who or what has the best chance of doing so?
