Information Overload?

There's no doubt that technology has brought the world into every young person's life. After all, you can find out pretty much anything in less than a second on the internet and it's never been easier to communicate instantly with anyone anywhere in the world from wherever you are.

This program will ignite fierce debate as to whether information and communications technology is actually helping or hampering our basic numeric skills, verbal communication and literacy development. With expert opinions, student vox pops, statistics and historical references presented for debate and discussion, this program poses the question: how do we best harness the incredible power of ICT for quality educational outcomes?
