SEA-CHANGES IN EDUCATION,
MEDIA HEALTH, DEAL-FINANCING
"Full fathom five thy father lies,Of his bones are coral made,Those are pearls that were his eyes,Nothing of him that doth fade,But doth suffer a sea-change,into something rich and strange.
Shakespeare, THE TEMPEST

FUSION OF MEDIA AND EDUCATION
Where is Niger? (Now that the U.S. is putting a west African base for drones there.)
What do we need to know? We need Wikipedia and analysis (why universities will always be with us)
Crowdsourcing ( we need real-time web-knowledge, e.g. USHAHIDI and contextual knowledge, e.g. the history of Niger)
Data architecture and digital education
