Some comments about the promise of the
tools of the mudoc technology:
"With the fantastically rapid rate of growth in human knowledge, we
urgently need means of more efficiently communicating what is known. Porter’s
program offers us great prospects of filling this need." Daniel Glaser,
PhD, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Southern California
"You’ve shown more creativity in dealing with the problems of reading
than the entire Harvard School of Education." Douglas Porter (no
relation to Wayne Porter), PhD, late Professor of Educational Psychology,
Harvard University
"The literature concerning visual perception, eye movement patterns,
and reading rates and comprehension supports the mu format as an effective
means of displaying printed information. It is a sound concept based on what we
know at this time about how people acquire information from print. . . . .
Personally, as a reading person, I am very excited about the potential of the
mu typography. I have discussed the concept with a number of other reading
researchers. They share my excitement." Gary Anderson, PhD, Reading
Education Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University
". . . with the aid of experimental studies, he has evolved some ideas
of great merit for improving on present-day communication and reading methods.
I have been particularly impressed with Porter’s accurate comprehension of the
physiologic aspects of visual function. He has always taken great care through
study and consultation to ensure that his projected undertaking be
physiologically sound. [It] involves, among other things, a much more efficient
and practical utilization of our visual and cognitive facilities than has
heretofore been employed. The potential advantages in visual health to be
derived from his project are very great." Sheldon Zinn, MD, Phoenix
ophthalmologist and eye surgeon
"The mudoc technology is a fundamental breakthrough in applying both
common sense and the highest forms of science to reading and absorbing
information. It may effect extraordinary changes in publishing and in the
dissemination of information." Boye DeMente, internationally known
author and publisher
"I believe the mudoc technology will provide practical and effective
tools for use in the fight to eradicate illiteracy." Karen Gray,
President, The Hired Pen, Inc., and former president, Literacy Volunteers of
Maricopa County
"The apparatus and complex of techniques he has conceived, if their
projected potential is fully realized, could prove to be one of the most
significant and beneficial scientific advances in the history of humankind. . .
. with the prospect that Porter’s work may lead to the creation of some tools
of great utility in advancing all frontiers of knowledge and in raising the
general educational level of all peoples, I urge the provision of every
feasible means of support to accelerate the research and development program he
has initiated." William W. Happ, PhD, inventor of the power transistor and former
Dean of Engineering, California State University, Sacramento
