Mad Rushes into the Future: The Overselling of Technology.
Noble, Douglas D.
Educational Leadership, v54 n3 p18-23 Nov 1996

Educational implementation of computer-based technology is highly experimental, despite the billions spent annually. The competitive jockeying for position to build and fill the (unpredictable) Information Highway lies behind the latest push for educational technology. (25 references) (MLH)
