With respect to the communications revolution made possible by the personal computer and the Internet, our duty as college teachers would seem perfectly clear: don the gloves and goggles, strap into our desktop workstations, boot up, and roar down the information superhighway. The more road we chew up with online chats and discussion boards, Web-based field trips, online classes, and other Internet-related tools, the better. The word “restraint” has, for now, an odd ring to it when used in discussions of technology and education. This is understandable: as educators it is our duty to make appropriate use of the new technologies so that our students are prepared to face the future.
