Does more people using IPods in New-Brunswick foster the development of the New-Brunswick music industry?

I guess Tony must have just thrown the "fostering" sentence in for some odd reason.

Maybe its part of a natural learning cycle for universities to jump blindly into e-learning, and LMS, to eventually realize that "solutions waiting for problems" are not the answer.

The days when our local universities could foster economic growth in IT are behind us. They have become sinks that use up all the resources now. The IT and business knowledge in the population astronomically surpasses what is in the universities.

This said, we will continue to put lots of monies into our universities for a while because they are seen as businesses that export. So that is where research and infrastructure dollars will go. This is very risky given the fact the current university business models are out of sync with reality.
