In the mid 1800s organizations called lyceums sponsored oral presentations on the arts and humanities, current events, politics and, of course, science, which was reshaping the world. There were thousands of lyceums stretched across America and attended by the general public because they enjoyed learning and wanted to stay abreast.

Using updates of the microphone invented in 1827 and the phonograph invented in 1877, Pocket University makes it possible to take those lyceum presentations along. In a much faster moving world, there is now time for learning, in depth, about subjects as diverse as Globalization and Hip Hop, Nanotechnology and the Stock Market, Blogs and Terrorism.
