I can't begin to say how wrong that is...and I'm afraid that in many ways the "Google U" degree is going to be the downfall of our society.
I dunno. Before the internet everyone knew someone who had the answer or had experienced whatever. Google just brings myth, legend and folklore to us all the faster. Even if I'm wrong on that, think about this: in the past (or today), how many projects (be it building a house or changing oil) were tackled by people who didn't (don't) know what they are doing? IMO Google changes it but only slightly. Nothing new under the sun and all that.
How did you spin off to equating Google with learning outside of being a paying accepted student?
A lot of the universities put their full lectures online, along with textbooks assigments and so on that's more what I'm getting
Or As my other example you can go to just about any lecture hall and sit in the back of the room and get a free educatio.
