It really is abysmal, between the ineffecifencies of creating content, delivering it and keeping it looking to the future instead of anchored in the past.

Still I'm starting to feel optimistic for the first time in a long time.

There is a horizon on the future, finally thanks to the convergence of more accessible connectivity, devices and capabilites of digital experiences in the next 2 years.

For services and apps to emerge, to make things less abysmal? I don’t see what you are hopeful for, what the given things would change.

It's more about the content itself than the platforms/services and apps.. although those are issues too.

Today most places are creating content a 20 year old way. It can't keep up with today's pace or depth of ongoing changes, or how quickly education content is needed on new topics in the future.

I think it boils down to features which are not currently available, which hamper self-directed learning today.

Is it that what you mean with „new capabilities of digital experiences“ and „creating content a 20 year old way“? Or do you talk about the formats they are created in?
