We’ve seen this movie before. The Tragedy of eLearning. The 1999 Online Learning conference in Los Angeles was ground zero for eLearning. CBT Systems told the world it was being reincarnated as SmartForce, the eLearning Company.

We review a movie while we watch it, we come up with an obscure fact in the middle of an argument, we read the owner’s manual of a gadget we spy in a store before we purchase it rather than after we get home and discover that it can’t do what we need it to do. The screen rewards, and nurtures, thinking in real time.

It’s the light show that crops up in the journey to the future in the movie 2001. My personal interpretation is that we hit the singularity when the pace of time has accelerated beyond our ability to comprehend. It’s chaos. The folks at Kauffman Foundation call it an un-university.
