That all seemed terribly important, but I'm not sure what the message was.

I think the point was that the educational system is extremely expensive and overpriced and was designed in the 19th century for primitive and scarce information flow even though we're now in the 21st century and the system is woefully inadequate to the actual needs of modern students.

That was a very slick way to communicate the idea.

The cynic in me says that there are two:

1) A certain professor at Kansas State saw YouTube and Google Docs, and thought "tenure".

2) Wireless internet access should be disabled by default in lecture halls.

I second the second point. It seems somethings change and somethings never change - high school was Xanga and AIM, Colllege is now facebook.

I don't think there was just one single message you were supposed to get, other than the link at the end.

It's not a normal propaganda piece like you're probably used to seeing. Where a propaganda video is based on the idea that the problem is already solved if only people would pay attention. It's presenting unsolved problems and looking for ideas.
