Most Important Educational Technology in the Last 200 Years

Do you agree with D'Arcy Norman?
Giving people access to didactic lectures by a handful of elite professors at a handful of elite institutions is not the most important educational technology in the last 200 years.
Not even close. Sure, it’s good. It’s fantastic that I can have access
to the lectures and resources of some of the biggest and most famous institutions. Awesome.
But the most important ed tech in two centuries? Bull. Shit.
Actually, I know a lot of educators who agree. So what does he think are the important technologies? Personal computer, Internet, software and tools that let students create & explore & collaborate & share. And "Waaaaaay down the list… MOOCs."
