Quite some time ago I read about new Ray Kurzweil's new project (well he is not alone, here is the whole list) of starting a great University with very futuristic program called Singularity University. Group pulled together set of great professors that will run courses like Nanotechnology, Space & Physical Sciences, AI & Robotics (more can be found here).
I believe this will be a very fine University and that the people finishing it will have a great skill and insight in future technologies, how to use them and more.
But (yes, there is always but) for me the worse thing about such school is tuition. It is true that if you are good enough and will try hard enough you might get scholarship and enter such University. But I still thing this is just another mistake of capitalistic world where knowledge is on sale for sale. I just don't like the concept.
Still I wouldn't mind participating nor leading some of the courses they have.
