It seems that currently there is a simultaneous evolution of both. Billions can now gain access to an education that would otherwise be reserved for a privileged few depending on their social, economic, and geographic location. A revolution in education is slowly taking place with the Internet as its primary driving force. Massive open online courses, or MOOCs, created by organizations like edX, Coursera, and Udacity are collectively working with universities like MIT, Harvard, and Stanford to create a college level education that is fully streamed online for free on the internet. There are currently over 80 million people enrolled in some form of education system or institution in the United States ranging from kindergarten to graduate school. It will take time before MOOCs reach a point where they could replace the university system altogether.

A quarter of the American population, 80 million people, is enrolled in K–12 education, college, or graduate school. At edX, Agarwal says, the same three-person team of a professor plus assistants that used to teach analog circuit design to 400 students at MIT now handles 10,000 online and could take a hundred times more. Coursera, an alliance between Stanford and two dozen other schools, claims that it had 1.5 million students sign up. Changing the world
