The University has to do less! This is very difficult!

Social Construction of Technology

No technological determinism

Not seduced by “Digital Natives”

or “Digital Immigrants”

We get the technology we deserve

If we fail to engage with these institutional and social processes then we’ll get the technology that the enthusiasts think we ought to have.
