Takeaway: Be open-minded about the medium of information transmission. Books and lectures are what we're accustomed to today. Are there other forms (perhaps non-mainstream ones or undiscovered ones) that could be better?

For instance:

Academia is accustomed to publishing in the form of papers (e.g. pdf). This form has fixed margins, cannot contain animations or interactive widgets. Would publishing in an environment that allow for more flexibility be better for communicating their achievements and ideas?
