COMPUTER-BASED EDUCATION IN THE AGE OF NARCISSISM

John E. Searles

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

To many observers, the world is entering a new age with the advent of electronic communication technology, particularly television and computers. This mental revolution will probably cause as many changes as did the industrial revolution; mental energy will be extended as physical energy has been extended. These changes will come to all societies, developed and underdeveloped. One of the effects could be that schools will lose their predominant place in society and will change from a function of presenting information to that of organizing information. Beyond this we can only speculate on the effect of computer-based education in the Age of Narcissism.
