The Computer as a “Survival Tool”
“At each successive stage of our evolutionary development, we have been provided with special ‘Tools,’ which have been utilized to create significant advances in human society as a whole. As we become increasingly immersed in our new microelectronic environment, the Computer has emerged as one of the Prime Survival Tools for the future. Just as the bow and arrow extended the sphere of man’s physical capabilities, so too can the computer serve as an extension of Man’s mind, allowing him to communicate vast amounts of informaiton in nannoseconds to any part of our Planet.”
…Elliott Maynard, 1987 - Computers and Related Technology; Hopi Educational Goals and Standards.
