Michael Smith on Video Streaming and Its Lessons for Higher Education

Two Think Minimum

Michael Smith joins Two Think Minimum to discuss his work on video streaming, how traditional studios adapted to technological changes, and draws parallels to the future of higher education. He argues that technological change will disrupt the standard model of higher ed, which has barely changed in centuries. He says the current system is financially and morally unsustainable and that technology provides an opportunity to create a more inclusive and accessible system, which is the premise of his upcoming book. Michael is a professor of Information Technology and Marketing at Carnegie Mellon University.
