Technology and education

The author makes a brief study about the history of technology and its applications to education and then a reflection on the complex relationship between them. He infers that this relationship has not been studied deeply enough and so technology has been used as a basis for traditional ways of learning instead of using it to transform education patterns. The paper finishes proposing that educational systems have to adapt themselves to these new technologies if it wants to avoid failure. Tras un breve repaso por la historia de la comunicación, el autor inicia una serie de reflexiones sobre la compleja relación entre tecnología y educación, concluyendo que ésta aún no ha sido suficientemente analizada, de forma que la pujante tecnología está sirviendo de base a modelos tradicionales de enseñanza. Todo ello redundará, según el autor, en el fracaso de un sistema educativo que ignora la importancia que tiene adaptar la educación a estas nuevas tecnologías
