Open Content, the way of the future

I studied pure math in my undergraduate twenty years ago. Subsequently, I pursued law study due to a special circumstance. My passion always remains with the field of mathematics. In fact, I returned to San Jose State University to study math. Yet, I must drop out because of my work schedules and my lack of the prerequisites. But, I did not give it up. I re-enrolled in Washington University since it offers online program. However, I was struggling in the program because I lacked of the prerequisites. I supplemented by study with DVDs offered by the Teaching Companies and Think well, but since materials covered in these lectures are two elementary, I could not catch up with the classes I was taking at the Washington University. For example, I was taking partial differential equation as my first class at Washington University. The class is the extension of differential equation. While the Teaching Companies and Think well offer extensive review on the courses of Calculus, they superficially touch on differential equation. So, I determined to find another way to get help. As I searched the web, I came across the Open Content, offered MIT. This forum provides lectures of many subjects, but I delved into the 30 lectures of differential equation. The lecture was taught by great teachers and the contents were clear. In fact, I learned all about differential equation in two weeks.
In Horizon Report 2010 edition, the Open Content was mentioned. I think that one of the technology features will revolutionize the way we learn in the future. First, it raises the standard of the lectures. In Open Content, the course is taught by the best professor. As such, it will set a standard for all others. Second, it makes knowledge convergent. Since MIT set the standard of lecture of the subject, it makes knowledge more uniformly convergent.
In short, The Open Content will expand our knowledge infinitively and open a new way of structure the classroom in the future.

Fly me to the moons of Saturn

In this video, the scientists Carolyn Porco discussed significance of the robotic spacecraft to the moons of the Saturn. http://www.ted.com/talks/carolyn_porco_flies_us_to_saturn.html.

According the scientists, this mission is a part of our forever search in understanding the world that we are living in. The two points that our innovation strategy sessions should consider include:

(1) Since the surface environment of the Titan is very much like our earth, environment, it is possible that life could be sustainable there. Therefore, we should think that in the future we could travel across the planet as we travel across the continental.
(2) In addition, certain shorelines of fluids were discovered in the Titan; it is possible that we could uncover new sources of energy.

As it is noted in the video, this massive undertaking to investigate the planetary system could unlock many mysteries about our life.
