Salman Khan: One Man, 1400+ Videos On YouTube, And A Mission

The Khan Academy is one of the most awesome and unique projects out there. One man with a mission, a computer, and a pen-tablet-mouse created 1400+ videos on YouTube.

“I teach the way that I wish I was taught. The lectures are coming from me, an actual human being who is fascinated by the world around him. The concepts are conveyed as they are understood by me, not as they are written in a textbook developed by an educational bureaucracy. Viewers know that it is the labor of love of one somewhat quirky and determined man who has a passion for learning and teaching. I don’t think any corporate or governmental effort–regardless of how much money is thrown at the problem–can reproduce this.”

One man can achieve a lot and have a significant and positive impact on many people.
