Epilogue
It was activities like these where the students utilized the patterns of NLP to their fullest potential and began to develop the flexibility of the model in a variety of contexts. It is now beginning to be used in the classrooms across the U.S. The ideas of learning strategies are becoming known to some teachers and in the late eighties educational systems will be spending millions of dollars to retrain their teachers in the NLP technology. Insurance companies, recruiters and manufacturers will be spending twenty times as much to apply NLP to management, sales, service and new product development.
The U.S. army will apply the NLP modelling technology to sharpshooter, hovercraft and helicopter pilot training. Foreign nations will add NLP techniques to their commando training. College professors will continue to denounce NLP and the claims of its practitioners and make passionate speeches about its unscientific approach in the learned halls around the world. NLP will be taught in virtually every English speaking country in the world. Other university teachers will be adding it to their course curriculums and NLP practitioners around the world in virtually every context that involves face to face or telephone conversation will be doing "MAGIC"
