Computers are a "scam" that is "weakening elementary education"
This innocuous little letter gives us a hint of a controversy that raged for about 20 years. Some people really believed that computers had no place in the classroom. It is amusing that this note is addressed to Dennis Allison, one of the founders of People's Computer Company (PCC), an organization that opened the first storefront public access computer center.



Daniel Peck was widely quoted, as evidenced by this article in the Christian Science Monitor about a year later.
