Introduction and Background Historically, a lot of events that defined the face of the globe have undergone tremendous changes and alterations. Nobody could have ever imagined that the Roman Empire will collapse (Hormer-Dixon, 2006, p. 2). The ever rising dependence on technology over the past few decades has sparked fresh debates on the necessity of teachers in the facilitation of learning. This is owed to the fact that technology has been able to penetrate deep into several spheres of life including education and learning. In essence, several players in the education industry have argued both for and against the elimination of teachers as facilitators of learning. The main aim of this paper is to analyze both sides of the argument and establish the validity of the statement, ‘With the rise in modern technology, there will be no need for teachers as facilitators of learning’. In this regard, this paper will explore some of the roles that technology plays in the advancement of education and the impacts it has on the society. In addition, the paper will analyze the impacts of science and technology through the use of three frameworks which are technological determination, technology as neutral and the social constructivism. Technological Determinism Technological determinism is a theory that states that technology is an autonomous entity that causes social change (Fourie, 2008, p. 18). Those who subscribe to this theory argue that specific technological developments in the society such as in communication and media are the ones responsible for instituting changes in the society. Moreover, technology is the basic instrument that holds together the fabrics of social organization. Such technological components such as prints, writing, televisions and the computer have contributed a lot to the changes being experienced in the society. The society in itself is believed to be entirely controlled by technology at every level. From individuals to social interactions and to institutions of the society, technology has penetrated deep inside them (Moe, 2010, p. 104). As part of an important social institution, technology is responsible for the rapid changes that learning institutions such as schools have and are currently undergoing. The incorporation and adoption of diverse technological equipments into the learning systems in schools has brought in a number changes to the whole set up of learning. Technological determinism theory is well illustrated in the manner in which changes have been orchestrated by the technological advancements in schools. Such changes include the possible elimination of teachers from their traditional roles of teaching in the pretext that students can appropriately apply new learning technological devices to learn on their own (Fourie, 2008, p. 151). Marshall McLuhan’s Theories about Media and Technology Marshall McLuhan was a Canadian educator and a philosopher who was credited for accurately predicting the World Wide Web nearly three decades prior to its invention. Besides, he was the one who coined the expressions “the global village” and the medium in the message. According to his theory on education, human beings have the capability of extending their nervous system through the use o
