The sheer volume of instructionally toned sets of slides, earnestly explaining to the world how to change the world reminds me of similar proselytizing ten years ago at the height of the Knowledge Management movement. Back then the shiny new idea was that we could share knowledge as never before thanks to the web, and a whole enterprise industry sprung up around 'elearning' with 'learning management systems' being touted as the cost effective educational source for businesses to enlighten and track employee's intellectual sophistication.
If the learning management system was the medium, knowledge management consultants and elearning course content providers would provide the brain training.
