Plato is widely believed to have been a student of Socrates and to have been deeply influenced by his unjust execution.
Plato's mastery of Greek is unquestionable: the grammatical and rhetorical structures of the dialogues are extremely complex; the arguments and analogies, stories and fables, and allusions and allegories are unmatched in cleverness; the wealth of his themes has no parallel, ancient or modern.
Plato is thought to have been born in Athens in May or December in 428 or 427 BC (like all the other ancient Greek philosophers, his birthdate is not exactly known).
PLATO ran for many years at the U of I, but William Norris's plans to make it a major force in the computing world and a keystone of corporate social responsibility failed.
The largest PLATO installation in South Africa during the early 1980s was at the University of the Western Cape, which served a fl population, and at one time had hundreds of PLATO IV terminals all connected by leased data lines back to Johannesburg.
PLATO courseware was fairly extensive, covering a full range of high-school and college courses, as well as topics such as reading skills, family planning, Lamaze training and home budgeting.
