Quote by Reed Hastings

When we think about online learning, it's such 'early days.'

Summary

This quote highlights the limitations of human foresight, even for someone as intelligent as Bill Gates. It serves as a reminder that in the early stages of any technological development, it is challenging to anticipate the full potential and future advancements. Just as Gates couldn't predict the need for more memory, it reminds us that our current perspectives on online learning may also be limited and that there could be unforeseen transformations and possibilities in the future.
