Learning is not necessarily something you can speed up. University classes are spaced like that, though, because there is the assumption that you have a lot on your plate. So you have two hours of pottery ... followed by 3 of statistics, 3 of organic chemistry, etc. But you can't just learn a discipline in a weekend simply because becoming comfortable with a field is a function of experience and experimentation. Allowing certain students to say "this is my only class, give me lectures ahead of time" could speed up the formalities, though.

Buying a house could be sped up, though.


The first idea (faster delivery) was actually the basis of the infamous Kozmo. Wonder if they would be able to make it today...
