Digital Platforms Are the Most Profitable Companies on the Planet, and Poised to Transform Education

A former software engineer, Principal Zeimer takes readers through an in-depth evaluation of how digital technology and economics are poised to transform education by examining the concept of academic capital.


A MINDSET SHIFT

FROM: INDUSTRIAL TO: DIGITAL


FROM: Students are consumers of information

TO: Students are producers of academic content (the heart of academic capital)


FROM: More stuff represents prosperity

TO: Human attention (active users) represent prosperity


FROM: Students identify “correct” answer as fast as possible

TO: Students think critically about questions that they design


FROM: Broadcasting

TO: Narrowcasting


FROM: Boss decides what to produce which is pushed to consumers with marketing (“supply side”)

TO: Users decide what to produce and they pull items into existence (“Demand side”)


FROM: It costs money to distribute goods and services leading to economies of scale (monopoly dynamics)

TO: Distribution is free and instant leading to network effects (winner-takes-all dynamics)


FROM: Security means armed guards and guns, stormtroopers

TO: Security means encryption, hackers


FROM: Ownership (owning capital leads to profits / Zero-sum dynamics)

TO: Sharing (Uber has no cars, Airbnb no homes, AliBaba no stores / positive-sum dynamics)


FROM: The corporation / “having a job” / centralized

TO: The Platform / “doing work” / crowdsourced


FROM: Movement of physical atoms of stuff

TO: Movement of electrons


FROM: Groupthink of the executive team

TO: “Mass identities” manipulate “the crowd”
