Murray Lender, who died this week, revolutionized America by making a great product worse—but more convenient. The winning product isn’t the best one.

I grew up with his bagels in my families freezer as a constant. -horrible things.
I would argue that higher education is taking a page out of this book with the advent of low cost online education etc.And if you look at the health care and higher education corners of the American economy where spiraling costs are bankrupting the middle class, you see sectors that are largely untouched by this kind of low-end innovation.

Yeah, I agree. I've participated in both forms of education. Either way though, you get what you put in but it's a whole lot easier to get from a traditional classroom setting. I also think with certain disciplines it's only a nominal difference.
Eventually, much of education (even ivy league, high brow, top shelf schools) will be streaming most lectures and using classroom settings for more practical purposes. -hands on learning and Q&A. The days rolling out of bed at 7am to be at an 8am lecture so a professor can talk at you are over.

My parents had these in the freezer when I was growing up too. I do remember thinking how great it was that they came pre-sliced. Haven't had a bagel in about two years now. They just can't hold a candle to my carrot and zucchini muffins :)
