The role of technology in English Teaching.
There was an early acknowledgment that technology should not necessarily involve radically different thinking about its role in a english teaching, process than that afforded to any other teaching innovation.
The same general educational principles should apply, however educational technology does afford us with a greater variety of atrtegies for engilsh teaching. It was recognised that we almost certainly cannot predict all types of educational technology that will be available to future readers of these proceedings, such is the speed of advances in this field.
Having the vision to see what technology can, or might, do is not synonymous with knowing how to take advantage of this in a english teaching context. The reality is that we still have much to learn about the use of technology .
Thechnology can enhance the processes of teaching and learning statistics, however, not all technology is fit for this purpose, and the use we make of this technology is not always appropiate.

Technophobics vrs technophiles
Technophilia and technophobia are the two extremes of the relationship between technology and society. The latter regards technology as destructive because it leads to a process of dehumanization and believes social reliance on technology is harmful. The former is a positive relationship, adopting technology enthusiastically, seeing it as a means to improve personal life and combat social problems.
I think the technophobics is the totalitarism of technology, corporate stronghold. Science and technology have brought us so many extraordinary advances that one is tempted to close one’s eyes take a leap of faith when it comes to technology.
I think the technology and is a step towards the future there may be many advantages and disadvantages but all this must be something in it clear that while some people oppose the technology, without the advances of technology many people would have no advantage to have good equipment to detect diseases, to make life easier for people.
In my opinion the technology for me is the best that has happened throughout the world. I agree also to those who go against it because many people take misuse the technology such as nuclear weapons that they do is try to destroy mankind.
There are two dangers. One is the danger of technophobia: retreating from science and technology because of the moral enormities it makes possible. The other, more prevalent danger, is technophilia, best summed up in the belief that "if it can be done, it may be done. There are many things that we can do that we ought not do. As science and technology develop, we find ourselves wielding ever greater power. The dark side of power is the temptation to forget its limitation. Lord Acton was right to warn that Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. None of us, of course, really commands absolute power. Our mortality assures that for all of us rich and poor, brilliant and obscure life will end in the absolute weakness of death.
But modern technology has upped the ante on hubris. Our amazing technological prowess seduces many people into thinking we are or, with just a bit more tinkering, might become gods. The first step in that process is to believe that one is exempt from normal moral limits: that if it can be done, it may be done. It is a foolish thought, a dangerous thought. But it is one with which we will all find ourselves having to contend as we continue to surprise ourselves with our strange cleverness.
