CNBC:

There are over 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States, but Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen says that half are bound for bankruptcy in the next few decades.

Christensen is known for coining the theory of disruptive innovation in his 1997 book, "The Innovator's Dilemma." Since then, he has applied his theory of disruption to a wide range of industries, including education.

In his recent book, "The Innovative University," Christensen and co-author Henry Eyring analyze the future of traditional universities, and conclude that online education will become a more cost-effective way for students to receive an education, effectively undermining the business models of traditional institutions and running them out of business.

What percentage of their graduates will be bankrupt?

    reading encourages both of your brain's hemispheres to have multichannel conversations across your corpus callossum(sp?) usually leading to something individuated happening in your frontal cortex we refer to as thinking. you can also produce the effect by working out how to talk to your voice-recording phone without repeating yourself. if you do this until you have nothing more floating around in your brain.. from 20..90mins should do it, with practice anyhow, you'll see that you have in fact produced some actual thought, restructured your brain and cleaned out an inner stack of stuff that would otherwise hobble your perceptions going forward. -- if you debrief yourself like this on everything, your learning/thinking/processing speed/memory-recall and capacity for directed visual thinking will go through the roof.

    so much for 'nothing triggers thought.' hah.
