Education is increasingly affected by technological advances. Shows how schools and colleges are shedding their traditional apathy to machines and are now exploiting all manner of mechanical and electronic aids and how these changes affect the child. Several leading educators and innovators including Dr. Marshall McLuhan and Dr. Jerome Bruner of Havard University discuss the ways traditional practice is adapting to radical new methods.
