As we reflect back on this momentous achievement and what it has meant for humankind, we should also be grateful for the many innovations, scientific, engineering, medical and technical, that emerged as a direct or indirect result of the so called 'space-race'. Over 30 per cent of today's smartphones contain this technology.

Perhaps it was jet-lag and travel weariness that kept Brian fairly quiet over dinner on the eve of Learning Technologies. He dwelt on organisational use of technology, and presented us with some challenges. There is no employee ownership, and that is often why technology becomes a problem within organisations, he explained.

This might be seen as a generalisation, because there are some pockets of innovative pedagogy to be found in every large education institution. Yet innovative pedagogy in higher education is not prevalent, and academics are generally reluctant to change their methods. Lecturers tend to teach in the same way they themselves were taught.

What changes has technology made in schools? More than four decades after Toffler's book was published, there is conflicting evidence that technology has actually delivered any significant change to the pedagogy practiced in school classrooms.

Schools that do not begin to innovate and adopt new technologies for learning will be left behind in the 20th century.
