Education in general and the IT&C domain are subject to constant changes, both through policy formulation by the government or by private organizations and the continuous transformation of the needs generated by the recipients of the services generated by the aforementioned areas. These permanent changes, which are extremely dynamic and complex, have profound social, economic and cultural implications, which are diffi cult to predict and estimate in-depth. This paper aims to highlight the need for an integrated thinking in terms of making decisions that apparently are only related to the introduction of IT&C in the education fi eld. The extensive and intensive use of technology should be carefully weighed also from the point of view of the impact it may have on short, medium and long term, in terms of the economic, social and cultural impact, at national or global level.
