Software is eating jobs, and self-driving cars are going to put a lot of people out of work who currently make a living driving vehicles. Do you have any thoughts on how society should adapt to what seems to be a "new normal" of higher unemployment?

• What do you think about degreed? Do we need new ways of accrediting and aggregating credentials in order for sites like Udacity and Coursera to take a significant part of the higher education market, or is it a bad thing that our culture places high importance on monolithic credentials?

• What do you think about a "Yelp for online courses"? Does Udacity have any plans to add reviews?

Companies can set curricula based on what their requirements are. And I can see possible demand for influential people to create and share curricula related to their areas of expertise.
