I think the link at the bottom of this - which redirects to a lecture (1hour 2 minutes) - has implications for how we (1) teach adult learners and how we (2) think about the future of education and technology. I don't know how to "scale" this to you as a ten out of ten on lecture - as I find that different persons learn different things - but I found the information credible, amazing, interesting, and "futuristic."
