First published in 1987, Educating for a Computer Age examines the evolving role of teachers in a rapidly changing society, offering insights and guidelines for future action. The book sets the stage for the electronic revolution of the time, providing an in-depth analysis of its driving force―the computer―alongside advancements in microelectronics and telecommunications. It delves into the internal workings of humanity, exploring our needs, ability to process information, and interaction with our surroundings. The text considers the tasks humans are expected to perform and the ways we extend ourselves through external tools, introducing the computer as a potential “fourth brain”―the ultimate extension of human capability.
The book further investigates the application of computers and information technology in education, proposing a critical role for teachers in shaping the future. It argues that educators must embrace this role, as they are uniquely positioned to act as catalysts and disseminators of positive change in a transforming world. Addressing the identity crisis faced by the teaching profession, the book emphasizes the need for teachers to recognize their pivotal role in guiding society through technological transitions.
As we now navigate another technological revolution―artificial intelligence, this book remains a valuable resource for educators and teachers. Its timeless perspectives on the intersection of technology and education offer valuable insights for those seeking to understand and adapt to the challenges of our changing world.
