A classroom without walls and a tutor in your pocket - UM goes paravirtual

Since the popular App Bang with Friends promises to do more with less (more sex with less effort of getting it) it might be time to bring it into the realm of applied education. With erudition hard to quantify the software Tutor dot com promises liberation from formal employment without excitement boring paperwork or team building exercises offer. Just sign up, pay per minute and get in touch a hot or not so hot tutor when you want it where you want it. First name, Last name and Credit card number... There you go. As easy as Bang with Friends.

Mr Martin Paul's opening speech of the academic year 2013/2014 caters the same needs and urges to an established sensibility as Bang with Friends and Tutor do to the minds of digital naives. There is a "Performance Agreement" that keep Friends bang viable, measurable and Balanced. And Employability is key at Tutor dot com too. And when you draw the metaphor that the government is to the university what the weather is to the ship everything is in place and the horizon recedes straight through Babbage wetware and unfolds into the labor markets stomach. The "Die Hard" must hum to the lines "He who fights and runs away, may live to fight another day" and comforts himself with Cultured Beef and Cowed funded research projects much like my Friends find dating-sites kinda cut and online learning environments such as Eleum, iTunesU or MOO's hel leuk.

But is there something new. Environmental consciousness, overpopulation and climate change.Welcome to the future! And now continue with your email.

Beyond growth, greed and quarterly results .... thank you
