      ab: The article illustrates the effects of information technology on education. The nature of the changes this revolution will bring in the next 20 years can be only dimly perceived, but they will certainly change forever the way an entire nation works, plays, travels, and even thinks. The new information technologies offer enormous educational possibilities. Students must learn the skills needed to support this new technology. The education of adults will also change significantly. The micro-computer as a terminal will open the educational resources of the world to everyone to a degree that is not now possible. This educational system will require creation of a national common-carrier information utility accessible to all and reaching every home, an electronic highway system to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas. Information technologies also carry some risks. For instance, while the information-rich sectors of society will probably get richer, the information-poor could lag further behind. The information revolution will bring to bear forces both reducing and increasing the demand for labor.
