	Plato Rising
		PLATO was developed in 1962 at the University of Illinois.
		PLATO began as an educational system, and, indeed, as an experiment to determine how computer-based education could be most effectively explored.
		PLATO is the epitome of individualized education -- it's like having a powerful and extremely patient teacher who's been assigned to work with you on an individual basis.

	PLATO: The Emergence of Online Community
		PLATO originated in the early 1960's at the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois.
		The early PLATO community was concentrated in Illinois and consisted mostly of people in academia: educators turned instructional designers, and students hired as programmers.
		PLATO was an accidental one which emerged spontaneously in an environment that had been created for other purposes.

	PLATO People: A History Book Research Project -- Research Questions
		PLATO terminals, CYBER mainframes, the microwave communications, the LINK, dialup lines, intersystem communications, multimedia hardware, you name it.
		To be "derfed" meant that you'd left yourself signed on at a PLATO terminal, and someone else would come along and use your signon to go into a notesfile (often PAD or derfnotes) and write a note saying "I are a derf" or something similarly stupid.
		Also, corporate/industrial users at the FAA, United Airlines, and all of the other far-flung places and organizations that were a part of what became the PLATO network in the early 80s.

	Plato - Biography and Works
		Plato had a profound influence on Western political and scientific thought, for as Alfred North Whitehead said, "All western philosophy consists of footnotes to Plato." His works cover various subjects like education, ethics, epistemology, mathematics, metaphysics, natural science, politics, and philosophy.
		Plato was born into an aristocratic family in Athens, Greece around 427 BC, the son of Ariston and his wife Perictione.
		After his teacher's death, around the age of forty Plato founded the Academy, of which Aristotle was a pupil, in a grove sacred to the demigod Academus, near Athens.

	PLATO at AllExperts
		PLATO 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 Corporation (CDC), who provided the machines it ran on.
		The largest PLATO installation in South Africa during the early 1980s was at the University of the Western Cape, which served a "coloured" population, and at one time had hundreds of PLATO IV terminals all connected by leased data lines back to Johannesburg.
		PLATO courseware was fairly extensive, covering a full range of high-school and college courses, as well as topics such as reading skills, family planning, Lamaze training and home budgeting.

	Plato: Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Plato was a teenager when a majority of Athenians decided to conquer Syracuse, and it is unlikely that he ever forgot the enormous cost in human lives, materials, and international esteem that this disastrous expedition brought about for his native city.
		Plato's answer was an educational system that systematically singles out the most intelligent, talented, industrious, and self-disciplined individuals for years of intensive study and training, and a prescribed lifestyle for this elite that eliminates all motivations and possibilities for personal ambition or enrichment.
		Plato thought that it is not in the nature of most people to exert themselves sufficiently in the pursuit of serious knowledge and self-understanding, or to muster the necessary energy and will to embark on the long march out of the cave of half-knowledge and ignorance.

	Definition of PLATO network
		PLATO, an apronym for Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operation, was one of the first generalized computer-based teaching systems, originally built by the University of Illinois 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.
		PLATO was therefore a failure in any real sense, although it did find some use in large companies who didn't want to staff up their teaching departments.

	Plato at PhilosophyClassics.com -- essays, resources
		Plato, the great philosopher, was a student of Socrates and author of some of the most significant philosophical works in history.

	Bruce Donnelly - biographic note about PLATO
		I don't pretend to be an expert on the subject, but the basic networking model behind PLATO involved state-of-the-art supercomputers from Control Data, each with their own networks of up to 1000 terminals which were grouped together into 32 clusters (network interface units) of 32 or fewer terminals (like a classroom).
		With typical response times on the network of less than 0.2 seconds, one would literally hear groans of despair within seconds if there was no visible response to a key, as an entire room of users would realize the network was down in far less time than even a very fast webpage downloads today.
		We networked such systems from Germany to Washington DC, which was not easy in those days, and developed a local database system to manage contacts and other work for the largest US consulate general in the world.

	Spasim (1974) The First First-Person-Shooter 3D Multiplayer Networked Game
		Spasim was written for the Champaign Urbana University of Illinois PLATO network which had hundreds of real-time graphics terminals across the US and some in foreign countries.
		Spasim was a 32-player 3D networked game involving 4 planetary systems with up to 8 players per planetary system, flying around a space in which the players appeared to each other as wire-frame space ships and updated their positions about every second.
		While I was learning to program PLATO, a group of guys at the birthplace of the computer — Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts in Ames, Iowa — helped me remotely via the PLATO network and showed me some of their work.

	Connectionism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Neural networks are simplified models of the brain composed of large numbers of units (the analogs of neurons) together with weights that measure the strength of connections between the units.
		It is widely felt, especially among classicists, that neural networks are not particularly good at the kind of rule based processing that is thought to undergird language, reasoning, and higher forms of thought.
		This suggests that neural network models serve as counterexamples to the idea that the language of thought is a prerequisite for human cognition.

	Iterations: An interdisciplinary journal of software history
		PLATO III, developed between 1963 and 1966, became the first computer-based education system to serve a substantial community—now handling twenty individual terminals.
		PLATO has been proven to be cost-effective in many fields including vocational training and teaching basic skills—areas of critical importance to developing countries and the disadvantaged in our own country.
		However, by the late 1970s, due to CDC’s refusal to use much of the original PLATO courseware, the two partners were in a state of “benign neglect.” It was not until 1983, with the adaptation of PLATO for the microcomputer that Bitzer sought contact with CDC again.
