Peer-to-peer education. People learning directly from others (any others). Not MOOC, but more like a <Khan> Academy where anyone can be Khan.

Teenagers teaching on Youtube how to do make up became a relevant niche for some years now. I think soon we will have a peer-to-peer education marketplace billion-dollar company.

I'm also a huge believer in P2P learning. I believe that it has very interesting implications both online and off. I'm hoping that a nonprofit (like Khan Academy) will pave the way for future ventures in this space.

Agreed. Do you think this boom will happen in developed or developing markets?

I would say developed. Innovation demands people having some time, some money and some ambition to create new things.

Hard to know, but i think the next big thing always come from USA, Europe or Japan. The only exception is China that create their own big things.
