  9. Why Do We Need to Use This Technology? “For a generation of young people, technology, particularly the Internet, has assumed a substantial stake in their social and educational lives.” (Honey 2005) "It takes that 'I'm not working for an authority figure' element out of it. They're working at their own pace, and they love the multimedia effect.“ (Chaika 1999) “For students to thrive in a world enabled by information technology, we must give them the skills to make sense of and use the information that engulfs them. They need to know how to learn new skills as quickly as technology creates new challenges.”
