Abstract
Today the entire world is struggling to meet the educational needs of more people than ever before. Nearly every country, and especially the developing world has a current and projected shortage of qualified teachers at all educational levels. As a result, there is little likelihood that the necessary educational resources of traditional approaches can be mustered to meet the clearly identified global needs. This paper expands upon a visionary proposal by Arthur C. Clarke for the development and implementation of an electronic tutor. It is demonstrated that the realization of this idea is both technologically and economically feasible and capable of addressing the educational dilemma in an economically viable fashion. Developmental design, operational cost factors are explored together with forecasts for implementation of the electronic tutor unit and the infrastructure required to provide a truly global educational capability by the year 2000. This electronic tutor system is characterized as the key element within a new Knowledge Network of the World (KNOW).
