Part two of a promo for PLATO computer systems, an early education computer. It features networked learning tools, lessons, quizzes, tests, etc. Many shots of kids in goofy 70s clothes sitting in front of a green text screen typing away and learning. There are also screen shots of the computer at work and shots of people in an office pointing at a computer screen. PLATO also featured early touch screen capabilities, and we get nice close ups.
