You think the consumer-generated ads and shorts we see today are witty?" All of which reminds me that part of the exponential changes we are going to see is that as children start producing their content for more authentic (and larger) audiences around the world, by the time they reach high school, their expectations of what school needs to provide them will be very very different.
