Quotes are taken from a message written by Carl to Charles on 07/21/96...
I said...
CB>CB> The computer as a tool for delivering curriculum still holds much 
CB>CB> promise, but again, a lot will depend on the 
CB>CB> ability of authors to write good software that will both interest 
CB>CB> and challenge our students - much more needs to be done.
To which you replied....
CB>Never will be very successful-in fact may be a waste of time. Students do 
not
CB>really learn from computers as computers can only provide 
CB>answers, (and limited ones at that). Aren't the most 
CB>important things in a person's education the questions? A 
CB>large amount of money is being wasted on computer glitz 
CB>that will never pan out as it isn't practical or possible 
CB>economically. There will never be the laptop containing an 
CB>entire library or any of the other fantastic claims given 
CB>to computers.
I think that what you said has some legitimacy but one caveat - never 
say "never."  ;-)
From one CB to another...
