The technology will, as never before, allow the widespread dissemination of new concepts and ideas that stimulate young minds and free the teacher for more creative pursuits. Yet, the magic fails to materialize, and within a few years articles appear in the popular press asserting that the failure obviously arises from the teachers not being skilled enough in the new technology." Excerpts from the New York Times in an article by Peter Lewis in the 1840’s describing the introduction of the blackboard.
