Incredible. I graduated high school in 2001. I started working on my Bachelor's Degree in 2003 from an Army base in North Carolina entirely online. 10 years later, I was able to finish grad school online at a regionally accredited university.
As a teacher, I found this documentary fascinating and insightful. It was so well thought out that it not only showed the future teaching tools in action, but made sure to highlight the recalcitrance of the teaching community towards them and the potential drawbacks for education when implementing them. Teachers, like all other people, can be averse to change. This is pointed out by the late Fred M. Hechinger at 17:06. There seemed to be an inordinate focus on keeping the lecture as the primary educational tool. I'm not an expert in the history of teaching requirements, but from what I've been told, during this time to become a teacher you needed to have a degree in the field you were teaching and little more. So, a teacher's understanding of how students best learn (data on the effectiveness of lectures by length of time, etc.) was simply not in consideration because they had no training in it. Which only makes what happens at 18:33 even more amusing. The professor, likely a staunch believer in his lecture-based methods, sees himself teaching for the first time and realizes he's, "just up there talking."
Most people do but there are a few of us such of myself that refuses to be part of that game. In my opinion the cell phone is probably one of the most destructive devices ever developed. I do not claim there are no benefits but I believe it’s destructive nature far outweighs any benefit.
It is the year 2023 and almost 2024 and life is a whole lot different than it was in the late ⏰ sixties. I also graduated high school 🏫 class of 2001 born in 1983.
1983 I was in Grade 8, our school had just gotten some Commodore 64 computers for the new Computer Science classes, Mrs. Cunningham, my Home Room teacher taught it, she looked like Shannon Tweed, that's why I took the class, and she leaned over my shoulders and her boobs kept touching me, HEY!, I was 13, gimme a break. I had an Apple II at home and my dad got an Apple II+ that hooked up to the TV that summer, it was just like the one the Griswold's used to plan their vacation to Wally World. But I digress, I'm pretty sure we saw this video that year in Mrs. Cunningham's Comp-Sci class, I remember her saying that the kids born that year were going to be the Class of 2001, she was talking about you.
I got 20 years on you. Enjoy the future I wont... I figure I ll make it to 2063. If I can might join you for your hundredth birthday, when the air is clean there is no hunger and war is a thing of the past. Lead the young man. The future is closer than you think. Peace from the PNW, and friends.
It was impossible for people in the analog 1960s to possibly imagine the digital world of 2000. To them all media was print, film, TV, magnetic tape, records, slides, or phone calls. To be able to watch this 1967 film on demand from anywhere in the world would seem more like 22nd century technology than 21st in 1967. Our instant and virtually free global communication would stun people in 1967. A long distance call in the US cost $0.58 per minute in 1967 which is $5.34 per minute in 2023 dollars.
In 1967 I finished college in electrical engineering, e.g in electronics we spend a lot of time on vacuum tubes, only in the last year transistors were introduced. After conscription in 1969 I started to test prototypes of main frame computers. The top model had 512KB of core memory (1 MHz), optionally it had up to 4 large cabinets with 2MB (0.4 MHz) core memory each. A system had typical 2 to 8 disk units with replaceable diskpacks. Initially they were 7.5 MB, later we had 30 MB and 60 MB disk units, giving us a whopping ½ GB of disk storage. The characteristics of the pentode vacuum tube allowed to produce high quality audio. The characteristics of the transistors were much worse, so they told us, that in the design we should maximize output not quality, since those transistors were mainly used in portable transistor radios used by noisy teenagers. In my first job I used the first chips (integrated circuits DTL = Diode Transistor Logic). There were very few transistors and diodes in one chip.
Thanks for contributing. I was 4 in 67, destroyed my body live in a van and enjoyed the entire trip here. Man it was a good ride, again thank you for contributing to humanity.
I used to run a robotic plating line manufacturing the ceramic chip holders for Intel microprocessors. One day in 1994, a Vice President says, "We could make these parts for $10 in the US, $1 in Mexico, and .10 cents in India. A year later, the plant was closed and 800 Americans were out of work!
It appears that speculation about future systems appear to be spot on at times, but never take into account miniaturization. Videos always show huge computer terminals and monitors.
The discussion around 20:00 is very interesting. That only the best lecturers whose personalities can really help to deliver content ought to be bottled up on film and used for generations, while the Live teachers are more focused on open discussion with small groups. Amazing insight and yet 60 year later we still have montone, rambling, disengaged lectures at some of our most prestigious universities.

Yes kids, do not listen to your elders, especially if they're in the social sciences. They're totally full of it! They're committing verbal diarrhea of the mouth just to justify their existence. To justify the well paying jobs they've got that they can't get fired from. Only believe what you can see, hear, taste, and touch.
Incredibly sadly, you’re right. If this country ever goes to war, well, I really don’t want to think about how bad that’s going to be, with the kind of soldier our military will wind up with.

Yes, we all smoked. Up until about 1985 or so you couldn’t go 5 miles on a major highway without seeing a billboard advertising cigarettes. You could not read a magazine without seeing the same thing. Watch TV and be bombarded by cigarette commercials. It seems like anyone that was someone was telling you to smoke. Our government put cigarettes in the C rations that were fed to our soldiers. TV doctors recommended smoking to calm your nerves and the elected every where from Hollywood to Washington D.C. and sports champions all pushed cigarettes harder than a school yard junkie. Smoking was cool, it was the in thing man, it calms you down, settles you stomach, makes you better in every way. So, is it any wonder that we all smoked?
I know lots who chose not to smoke, and who were so "cool" that reeking of that stink, the nicotine addiction, cost, and conformity (as you described) were not things they wished to pursue. Yet, the original comments, if the meaning was more of "practically everyone was smoking", sure; far too many people did that. The so-called no-smoking sections of restaurants were similar to the no-pee sections of a pool full of kids. Butts were everywhere! Life is better now in countless ways, yet most humans tend to think of the best of the past and forget much of the bad, or at least forget the bad parts and the ones who dealt with the most terrible aspects of dark history. IMHO, YMMV (In my humble opinion, your mileage may vary)
Walter Cronkite was also part of the MSM! My grandfather watched him on the evening news, but he wasn't the unbiased journalist we all thought he was. He read from the script too!
I think AI will soon do away with most teachers. And teachers know it. Students use computers to get their knowledge today. They aren’t interested in critical thinking anymore, which is a shame. I think this is why many teachers teach their personal opinions. Because it’s the only way to stay relevant to students needs. Groupthink is here. What a mess.
The math and science curricular reforms adopted by the schools were brilliant, but because few math teachers in the schools could master the curriculum, everything was boiled down to the lowest level. It wasn’t taught in the educational colleges and since few elementary teachers had even passed Algebra 2, all that even better than average kids learned was the jargon connected with set theory,

Oooh, I want to learn radio and television repair! Think how much demand there will be for that in the 21st century!
You should learn how to repair home telephones, too!
There was a massive demand for radio and television repair in the four decades following this, your comment is inane and irrelevant.
Repair? You put whatever needs to be repaired into a drum with spinning gears and you pulverize it into dust then go buy a new one.
