Computers are now being pushed into
schools. We know that multimedia will make{{U}} (21) {{/U}}easy and fun.
Children will happily learn from{{U}} (22) {{/U}}characters while taught
by expertly{{U}} (23) {{/U}} software. Who needs teachers when you've
got{{U}} (24) {{/U}}education? These expensive toys are difficult to use
in the classrooms and{{U}} (25) {{/U}}extensive teacher training. Sure,
kids love video games {{U}}(26) {{/U}}think of your own experience: can
you{{U}} (27) {{/U}}even one educational filmstrip of many years ago?
I'll{{U}} (28) {{/U}}you remember the two or three great teachers who
made a{{U}} (29) {{/U}}in your life. Then there's
cyberbusiness. We're promised{{U}} (30) {{/U}}catalog shopping -- just
point and click for great deals. We'll order airline tickets{{U}} (31)
{{/U}}the network, book restaurants and negotiate sales {{U}}(32)
{{/U}}. Stores will become obsolete. So how come my local mall does more{{U}}
(33) {{/U}}in an after- noon than the entire Internet{{U}} (34)
{{/U}}in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to{{U}} (35)
{{/U}} money over the Internet, the network is{{U}} (36) {{/U}}a
most essential ingredient of trade and commerce: salespeople.
What's absent from this electronic wonderland? People contact. Computers
and networks {{U}}(37) {{/U}}us from one another. A network chat line is
a limp{{U}} (38) {{/U}}for meeting friends over coffee. No interactive
multimedia display comes{{U}} (39) {{/U}}to the excitement of a{{U}}
(40) {{/U}}concert. This virtual reality where frustration is legion
and -- in the holy names of Education and Progress -- important aspects of human
interactions are relentlessly devalued.
