Only one spacecraft has ever visited far-off Neptune. In 1989, NASA's Voyager 2 probe beamed back astonishing images of this dynamic world, including an Earth-sized storm with 1,000 mph winds. Since then, planetary scientists have used giant telescopes either on or orbiting Earth to observe uncanny Neptune, the farthest planet from the sun. And in the last couple of decades, they've watched extreme changes in the planet's atmosphere.

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
