I never heard of this before. Very interesting and amazing.

 

I also did not know this one before.

What amazes me is the success that this show obviously had. It seems like there was a real thirst for knowledge back then. I'm not entirely sure if this is still the case.

Of course there are MOOCs today, and they are also very successful. But the difference is that most MOOCs are career-related. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, but there is a certain difference to a liberl arts education that you could get through this show.

 

Well becoming a Youtuber or digital currency investor are two of the top careers that our young people look forward too!
