Technological determinism in practice...#edcmooc

Yesterday I had a meeting, where I could recognize some features of technological determinism in the discussion ;) When we were talking about IT-choices considering teachers´ and students´tools in the future  - the idea of people´s needs as a start point for the change, was not mentioned. But, I´ve found that sometimes the possibilities that a new technology opens, are hidden from us who do not have the "technological framework".
