Conclusion

The great ethical responsibility for professional technologies may be in the technologies of education and training being the most effictive and the most humane ways of keeping a population in order and productive, The greatest on-the-job challenge is to avoid exaggerating the contribution of technology, particularly information and communication technologies (ICT). Learning, at root, does not require technology. Learners, in turn, do not absolutely need teachers, technologies, and technology, either by day or by night. What students and trainees deserve are the best available instructional experiences.
