Phillip Cappers characterization of technology in education is strongly
echoed in Don Norman (1993) and the issue of whether 'high' technology will
(and/or should) be subsumed within existing institutional patterns of
schooling is discussed at length by Bob Heinich (1995) who concludes that
computer mediated education must be categorized and studied as a subset of
technology rather than as a subset of education if it is to escape
theoretical trivialization. -Rolfe
