When so many of them are still illiterate. Well it's a disgrace that we have the illiteracy rate we do. Nations like Cuba just put us to shame, where illiteracy is concerned. And it's time we realized the need for a national effort to deal with this problem. But where education and training is concerned one of the best ways to improve productivity is by using new technologies.
Information technologies can, themselves, make a contribution to combating illiteracy.
The high-speed data highways will make it easier to deliver video, audio and graphics over the wire. Well video plus text is an improvement over pure video. When I think about your efforts, I can't help think back to 1908 when Henry Ford started making Model Ts. I saw that in your column. That's a lovely example.
