Just watched a lecture video published by the Institute for Advanced Studies located on Einstein Drive in Princeton, New Jersey. Originally, I was watching a lecture from April 3, 2017 given by Ran Raz when I discovered that the lectures at the IAS are still using chalk and blackboard. As an aside, Ran Raz was even using a dry sponge to clean the chalk of the blackboard, well you can imagine what that looked like ...
I thought, OK this video was recorded almost to years ago. Let’s see the most recent available video. At the time of writing this blog, this was: Non-commutative rank by Visu Makam University of Michigan; Member, School of Mathematics February 5, 2019.
I could not believe that the lecturers at the IAS are still using the extremely outdated technology of chalk and blackboard. I was actually deeply shocked that such brilliant minds waste time and effort on this ancient technology in the digital age. This is highly inefficient and amateurish! Almost like throwback!
