The future of education is well in hand with these guys!

MIT has posted up some excellent course material free to the public.  There is absolutly no excuse for not understanding science technology, engineering or math any longer to be a globally competitive country. Individuals who are out of work, or under-employed have an incredible opportunity to pick up new skills, learn new concepts, and basically become more competitive, and either apply these skills toward entrepreneurial endeavors or gainful employment. 

Between MIT and the Khan Academy on youtube, education has become a private endeavor between individuals who just have the natural curiosity to want to know something.  I learned basic concepts of programming languages and how to write applications through MIT's open course materials. 

It's refreshing to see an unselfish endeavor actually come to life and from such a great school and great teachers.  I wish I could donate more money to these guys.
