Abstract: | >The author, speaking at the 1979 Conference ‘Television in Society’, reviews the uses of television in education and considers the future as affected by the microelectronics revolution. A redefinition of television itself is only part of a radical series of events involving three major steps: the evolution of microelectronics technology, cheap storage of information and cheap transmission of it over long distances. The consequences for educational television will be manifold, but the problems will remain educational |
