This cost and production difficulty eventually kept multi-imagery from entering themainstream of technology and from gaining use as a tool for instruction. While it was cheaperthan film, it was too expensive and labor-intensive for most educational uses.Today, however, the technology for creating and presenting multi-imagery is dramaticallydifferent. Creating such presentations today is much easier given the ubiquity of computers,digital projectors, and sophisticated but easy-to-use software such as PowerPoint that can be usedto control the timing of displaying content.

These processes are reminiscent of early behaviorist experiments wherereward or punishment was perceived as a main driver of conditioning.
