Didn't we go throuigh this with CD-ROMs? Apparently not well enough. Oh well. The point of this article, as the title suggests, is that DVDs will become an important teaching tool. Just as was the case with CD-ROMs before them, DVDs offer much increased data storage, allowing for quick access to multimedia. Obviously DVDs will be useful in certain settings, such as school labs and locations with limited bandwidth. But it is important to keep in mind that DVDs are at best a transition technology and will be rendered largely obsolete for presentation purposes with the advent of true broadband.
