| | PLATO - encyclopedia article about PLATO. |
 | | PLATO, an apronym for Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operation, was one of the first generalized Computer assisted instruction systems, originally built by the University of Illinois (U of I) and later taken over by Control Data (CDC), who provided the machines it ran on. | | | PLATO ran for many years at the U of I, but William Norris's plans to make it a major force in the computing world and a keystone of corporate social responsibility failed. | | | Their first system, PLATO I first ran on the locally-built ILLIAC I computer in 1960. |

| | PLATO: The Emergence of Online Community |
| | PLATO was an accidental one which emerged spontaneously in an environment that had been created for other purposes. | | | It was not officially part of the PLATO system software, and in fact it was used mostly for what administrators would consider frivolous purposes. | | | Tenczar was the head of the system software staff, and I was a 17-year old university student and junior system programmer. |

| | Plato Rising |
| | PLATO began as an instructional computing system on an enormous Control Data Corporation (CDC) mainframe computer more than 15 years ago. | | | Some limitations are involved if you use this kind of hookup, as compared to using an actual PLATO terminal, but they're insignificant when you consider the low cost of an Atari computer and the awesome power of the PLATO system. | | | As Atari users and observers for four years now, we're convinced that the introduction of the PLATO cartridge is the most significant event in the histoy of the Atari home computers. |

| | Plato: Democracy |
| | Plato, in other words, created a metaphysical system in the literal sense. | | | Ruling cliques do not create popular ignorance and apathy, a defender of Plato might say, they only use it for their own purposes--in the same way in which a seller of dubious merchandise does not create lack of buyer discretion, but simply exploits it. | | | Nothing short of a carefully designed rule by highly educated experts would be equal to the task: a carefully designed dictatorship of reason. |

| | The experience of PLATO was radically different from almost any other computing environment of the time. | | | Arriving at the Mecca of networking and meeting the magical little gnome who founded second order cybernetics (symbolized by the Ouroboros) in his Biological Computer Laboratory was an amazing experience. | | | By establishing an individual studies course with Dr. Don McClain, I was able to assist Dr. McClain’s now late colleague, Dr. Bobby Brown, professor of computer based education, who generously tolerated my obsessive, day and night, presence in front of this very much-in-demand resource within his lab. |

| | Plato's philosophy rejects scientific rationalism (establishing facts through experiment) in favour of arguments, because mind, not matter, is fundamental, and material objects are merely imperfect copies of abstract and eternal ‘ideas’. | | | Plato's philosophy has influenced Christianity and European culture, directly and, through Augustine, the Florentine Platonists during the Renaissance, as well as countless others. | | | This information should not be considered complete, up to date, and is not intended to be used in place of a visit, consultation, or advice of a legal, medical, or any other professional. |
