“Transmission will start in five seconds from now. Five, four, three, two, one.”
{Announcer - The General}
It’s all very well telling the students that the Professor’s
lecture will start in five seconds. But there is a flaw to Speedlearn. Yes it
transmits information which is imprinted on the cortex of the brain through the
iris, and that with occasional boosts it’s virtually indelible. And every
student may well be word perfect, exactly the same words perfect, so that you
end up with a row of knowledgeable cabbages. It may well be argued that the
flaw in the educational experiment known as Speedlearn has already been listed,
but not the flaw I’m thinking of. To have the three year history course
indelibly imprinted on the students brains, they must first be seated in front of
a television screen. Without the student doing that, he or she will remain
unaffected by Speedlearn, and remain in ignorance, and quite right too! Up the
Professor, and down with Speedlearn, that’s what I say. Mind you, if I’d have
had a dose of Speedlearn when I was at school I might have passed my maths exam.
Unlike Number 6 I had no head for figures!
Be seeing you
