Abstract

There have been revolutions in educational technology before. Going back to the earliest days the evolution of speech and writing would be considered pretty revolutionary in terms of educational technique but as we live through the information revolution of the 20th century, comparisons are often drawn with the dramatic changes in society and education that were brought about by the invention of printing in the 15th century. Usually attributed to Guthenberg, this invention led to revolutionary developments in mass communication through the production of books and thus to the spread of knowledge throughout the civilized world. It had the effect of dramatically enlarging the number of literate people, so that civilized society today considers itself to be failing if any significant proportion of its population is illiterate.
