The Computer—A Technology that Breaks the "Sound" Barrier

This paper postulates that computers are powerful, versatile learning tools that have as many applications as the user is capable of imagining! Whether it be one microcomputer or one hundred, the computer can be scheduled for remedial work, reinforcement of basic skills, word processing, programming, or accessing of simulations and advanced games of logic.

Computer technology places society at a new frontier in which information processing and communication will break through handicapping conditions. Physical disabilities that are considered limiting today will no longer prevent individuals from being active participants and contributors to society. As Jean-Jacques Servin-Schreiber expresses in his book, The World Challenge, "Due to the development of the microprocessor, we are witnessing the birth of, the emergence of, the first truly human society."
