Leah Delia Larson -- Just when I was starting to think I liked economics... I found this presentation to be on the heavy side. The concepts behind the presentation were certainly complex, and I appreciated some clarifying examples. My favorite example was that of mac's vs. PC's evolving in different ways -- functionality vs. accessibility. I might have been more attentive if the ideas were tied to education earlier in the presentation. For me, the most interesting idea presented was that schools will need to look to examples of "non-consumers" (such as alternative and summer school programs) to find ways of adapting to better meet the needs of students.
