*Oh, do I feel old! I remember teaching machines! I remember being a student
using a teaching machine. I have written programmed instruction (the content
that teaching machines delivered).
*

*They were dreadful, even then. What we can do now is nothing like we could
have imagined in 196**2. I think what we will be able to do in 2053 will
turn out to have been just as unimaginable.*

Just when did what we are doing now become *imaginable?*

This notion of unimaginability is tossed around a lot - technospherically.

For me serious imagination of pedagogical & cultural possibilities kicked in
in 1978 with the arrival of my TRS-80 & having kids interact with it & its
4k mem.

By early to mid 90s you could image the terrain ahead pretty clearly. The
details needed closer approaches to be mapped but Now was imaginable from
Then.

I do read science fiction & that helps.

How was it for other folk?

Corollary:

Imagine how it will be 5/10/20 years from now. With the rate of change
amping up maybe we can't And there's always the

rapture of the nerds - the singularity -  to contend with.
