Implications of Computerized Education
Russell Sawchuk
As an educational planner, I have ample opportunity (indeed I am forced) to analyze trends in society and ascertain what implications, if any, they will have on the educational system. I am convinced that the microprocessor revolution will have more impact on the way we live and work than any development since the industrial revolution. The educational system, designed to prepare our youth for useful and productive roles in society, will be significantly affected.
