So Put All the Blame on VCR…

(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)

Interesting read from James Surowiecki on how Netflix killed Blockbuster, and how Netflix itself could be next. Blockbuster’s “Clicks and Mortar” strategy turned out to work about as well as “balanced literacy.”

I suspect however that “Clicks and Mortar” has a brighter future in education if we can get the education market to reflect a small fraction of the dynamism of the movie rental market.
