Policy makers, IT industries, and media fuel the call for more and always newer technology in schools. The call for IT in schools is a result of IT industries' planned and unplanned technological obsolescence and the perception by parents that people must be well trained and skillful to survive in the global economy. Many technological developments are inspired by the notion of saving time so that life is easier and can free up time for more enriching pursuits.
