Abstract:

There is no facet of today's society which has not directly or indirectly felt the impact of the computer revolution. To what degree the introduction of computing technology will ultimately mold our economic, cultural, sociological and national future collectively and individually can only be conjectured, but it can safely be predicted that it will be substantial. Education is certainly not excluded and the influence will penetrate to the very fundamental tenents upon which education is based. Many of the changes which will take place will be dramatic and will likely occur with the same rapidity which is typical in computer technology. The majority of teachers and their administrators practicing today have had little exposure to educational uses of computers other than through the public communications media. For them the effect of computers on education may be alarming and uncomfortable unless measures are taken to keep pace with developments.
