As much fun as playing Airfight at 1200 baud with a plasma
touchscreen was back in the 70's, did Plato accomplish anything? I
was given to understand that the level of instruction delivered was
no better (at best) or considerably worse (at worst) that traditional
pedagogical methods.
It was an interesting "gee whiz" toy for the time, but did it leave
any lasting legacy? I've yet to hear someone say "If it weren't for
PLATO, I'd be pushing a mop at the local Wendy's."
Cheers,
Chuck
