Bill Gates' Robot will Watch Your Kids

Bill Gates' Robot will Watch Your Kids 03/14/2005 06:03 PM
The Swirling Brain and a few other readers sent in the weird robot news of the week from ABC News. It seems Bill Gates may be developing an army of evil robot teddy bears to watch over (and eventually raise?) your kids. If that isn't scary enough, the robot bear will monitor the child, providing video and audio online over a WiFi link. Microsoft's extensive security know-how will give your robot the same wonderful protection as your typical Windows OS, so you don't have to worry about the wrong people watching your child. There's also Slashdot coverage, which poses the question, "when it BSODs, will it take the kid with it?". Lest you think this is a joke, an MSNBC article includes a photo of the furry robot and mentions that its head will follow the childs movements around the room. The robot was revealed at Microsoft's Research Techfest 2005, a secretive internal event designed as a "corporate moral booster" for Microsoft's product research teams.

I get dozens of mailings from Microsoft every week, many of which are pure marketing drivel and quickly go to my trash folder. Occasionally, though, there are nuggets - such as the hands-on security labs I mentioned last week - that can prove useful. It happens rarely, though, and this week was no exception. Still, there was one note that deserves a closer look.

Outsource university administration to
India or China?

Outsource university administration to
India or China? 09/19/2004 05:05 PM

Nearly all American universities have experienced tremendous growth in administrative staff in the last 30 years.  At most schools the ratio of admins to faculty has doubled. As this trend continues necessarily tuition prices continue to outpace inflation.  Within our lifetimes it is likely that the cost of a college degree will exceed the cost of a twin-engine business jet airplane (in the 1950s four years of tuition cost about the same as a new Chevrolet).

If colleges cannot get by without adding more labor per student why not do as for-profit corporations do and add that labor in China or India?  As noted in a December 1, 2003 entry, MIT has had great success outsourcing OpenCourseware programming and editing to India.  Think about all the jobs at a typical university that are done primarily via phone and email.  Obviously the entire IT department could be in India.  Why not the registrar?  How about most of the coordinating and tracking functions of the alumni office?

American labor is wonderful but it is a luxury that most American families can't afford.

Business idea for the young readers:  Start a university "back-office" service bureau in India or China.  The folks who've done this for Wall Street have been very successful (New Yorker magazine did a great article this summer on Office Tiger, started by two Princeton alums).  Most university administrations lack the initiative to manage staff overseas (or do anything innovative, actually) but they would all appreciate the potential cost savings.  So they'll need a contractor to do it all for them.
