Synopsis

In the United States, a record $6.5 billion was spent on educational technology for the 1998-99 school year, while funding for music, arts, and other specialty areas continued to shrink. Yet nearly every measure of our children's educational performance remains stagnant. The Child and The Machine paints a compelling picture of how our rush to use computers in schools has led to one of the most expensive and least helpful revolutions in the history of our education system.
