- Summary
- COI synopsis: In the past decade, the computer has grown in versatility whilst shrinking in size and cost. This programme is about its impact on our society: not in terms of automated car production, but how it effects education, business efficiency, leisure or even our safety. The computer is changing education. In Britain, there’s an educational library, written by eminent teachers, not in books, but on a computer. Now, any school teacher can call the computer and receive notes for lessons. Not only do they incorporate practical experiments for the students, but also encourage them to use computers as information libraries. Education has been broadened without eliminating personal contact between teacher and student.
