In 1992 and 1995, Iowa received statewide Star Schools grants to demonstrate the use of fiber-optic technology to provide live, two-way, full-motion interactive instruction which allows greater levels of interactivity than previous forms of distance instruction. The grant allowed the state to equip over 100 fully interactive video classrooms in…

Aided by developing technologies, society is moving from its traditional "gathering" pattern (collecting individuals for work, recreation, voting, medical care, and shopping) to a "degathering," decentralized pattern.
