In 1974, the United States launched the first "practical technology satellite" dedicated to teaching, marking the development of modern educational technology to a new stage. Since then, people have further explored new topics brought by the latest achievements in electronic computers, microelectronics technology, and optical fiber communications to the development of educational technology.
