What technologies change people’s lives?

There are some interesting issues kicking around at the IPTS workshop on the impact of Web 2.0 innovations on Education and Training in Europe.
there are plenty of examples of innovative practice. But there is little example of any findamental change at either a systems level or even at the level of the institution. This raises a whole series of questions:
- is it possible to change pedagogic processes and improve opportunities for learning through the use of social software within the present system?
- or as Roberto has just said what is the disruptive technology which can spark such chnage in peoples lives.
It may be that such change will not origin within the education system but will happen from human interactions in the wider communities through different ‘value propostions’ – through ideas, approaches and technologies which add value to people lives.
