Letter to a Lecturer, on third level education and its inflexibility in the post internet era.

 My idea for the masters project would have been to use the internet and social media to research a children's program for dvd/bluray delivery, through direct interaction with child care workers, child psychologists and pedagogy professionals - while also gathering information through interactive multimedia games where children can be allowed make choices directly from ideas that were collect from my surveys on social networking sites with the professionals mentioned above.     Now my question is why would I have to write or even learn the code to firstly implement the database surveys and then create a multimedia experiment where children can interact with different characters and sounds and take live statistics and interpret them as a visual map or direction in which to create my TV/DVD /internet youtube etc.. program ( a system which would have many uses in all areas of business and marketing online for example GUI navigation and statics to improve usability or product devel
