6. Curriculum:
Let's learn from Apple, Amazon, Google, and other mass customizing industries. 
iTunes allows me to choose a single song from an inventory of 6+ million, download that song to my computer in less than 60 seconds, and be listening to my new favorite tune. 
Might our learners be able to download learning activities much like that?

7. Amazon.com Profiling Consumer evaluations of products
Could we use amazon’s profiling to help identify the best most effective learning styles of individual learners?
Could you identify the topics, content, people, or activities that interest our students.

8. Students:
Verizon sends me my monthly bill.  They know who I called, who called me, when I called, how long I talked . . .
Might our learners and the learning system create electronic learning portfolios much like that?
