Learning in 1999 A.D. (1967)

Lessons are programmed into the home computer and fed into teaching machines, which allow him to progress as rapidly as his awakening mind can absorb the audio-visual lessons.

It’s fun to see how futurists of 1967 imagined it would take many separate machines to accomplish the teaching tasks that can now be accomplished with one CD-ROM.  It’s also fun to see that machines of the retro-future can belittle a child every bit as efficiently as a human teacher can.
