    Daniel Sandin's early draft grant proposal advocates developing educational machines and interfaces; he compares public-school capitalization ($10 per participant) with modern communication-company capitalization ($20,000 per worker) and argues for economic efficiency through appropriate technology. He discusses transfer of course content to machines and the loss of incidental learning, the advent and uses of generalized machines including pencils, television and general-purpose digital computers, and the necessity of teaching generalized-machine use.
