The technologies improve cognitive function, organize thinking, enhance intellectual economy or ecology. Moreover, the technologies can function as our external memories ... That's what we want for education? Are we losing some of the internal mechanisms of memorization? What are the consequences? If we have a large amount of data and information stored externally in technological devices, which means we will be better prepared to learn in a more creative and imaginative way?
The technologies give rise to a new educational paradigm, in which predominates the multimedia. There is no doubt that the technologies influence the culture, news perspectives and ways of thinking, representing a gain in education, because they promote learning more practical and dynamic. Through new media, interaction is promoted, diversity is fostered , tolerance and sharing of knowledge through discussion and involvement of all in the process of knowledge construction is encouraged.
