that online learning will make placebased colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online.i applaud mr.gates.but whats taking us so long?as early as 1997, mit (麻省理工学院) decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people.but today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from mit online videos? unfortunately, the answer is not many.the problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students.those who go to the mit website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but its not like playing a video game such as world of warcraft.only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.the real question is why we arent spending more to develop better online education platforms.where is the “avatar” of education? think about this.the market for hollywood films per year is worth around usd 30 billion.education in the world is a trilliondollarayear market, hundreds of times bigger than hollywood movies.yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.bill gates prediction is going to happen.there is no doubt about it.but it will only happen when we create highlevel educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real

speaking, dysfunctional (反常的) relationship with clothes.their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them.this helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as highclass mens suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion.in other words, we english dress best when we are “in uniform”you may be surprised that i am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform.surely the parrothaired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? its true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way.they are wearing a uniform.the only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone elses opinion.however, it is true that the styles invented by young english people are much more eccentric than any other nations street fashion.we may not be individually eccentric, apart from the queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and we appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.another “rule” of behavior i had discovered was that it is very important for the english not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves.however, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.the goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously.but when i got into conversation with them, i discovered that they too had a sense of humor.i was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrothair.i saw he was also wearing a tshirt with “goth”“why are you wearing that？” i asked.“in case you dont realize im a goth，” he answered, pretending to be serious.we both burst out laughing.32what can we know about the english people?athey need rules to dress well.bthey are in need of uniforms.cthey are
