Probably no event characterizes the educational context as well during this time as the impact of the Russian launch of the satellite Sputnik in 1957. Americans were shaken out of their complacency when their arch competitors, the Russians, managed to blast off into space in the first rocket. This event was immediately followed by much fault finding and finger pointing as Americans looked for
someone to take the blame and for ways to explain why our research and development efforts were overtaken by those of a communist country. Eventually the blame centered on schools and their so-called failure to educate children and youth to be thinkers needed for the modern competitive world.

Technology revolutionized communication, changed jobs, provided new ways to spend leisure time, and affected transportation and manufacturing.
