Shigeru Miyagawa, Professor of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, discusses "Personal Media" on 17 minute streaming video in part one of a series entitled "Media, Education, and the Marketplace." Professor Miyagawa's insights are fascinating and dovetail with the role that the founders of pingV have envisioned.

Professor Miyagawa speaks of "story telling," which is a pingV pillar. He speaks to how learning is changing and how the role of mass media is central.

He makes an interesting point. There is "mass media" and "personal media." Like most of us, he is part of a generation raised on a diet of mass media. His insight is into a new paradigm, not limited to children, but people adapting to personal media.
