The New Media and Education: Their Impact on Society

The contributions to this volume were designed to be essays in speculation on the roles that may be played by the new educational media in American society for the next few decades. As editors of such volume, there are several courses of action open to us. We can choose the coward’s path and say nothing about the items in the collection. Or, we can attempt a summary or synthesis. Or, we may attempt to correct the errors of omission and commission made by several contributors. We have chosen to do all these things and to add our own speculations as well.
