Abstract	The author's concern is with the impact - or more precisely, lack of impact - of technology on the organizational structure of schools. The computer is only the latest new technology to be introduced into schools. The author argues that the history of older new technologies, such as paperback books and educational television, suggests a general proposition about the relationship between technology and educational change, namely, that technology does not drive change but only provides opportunities for change. For opportunities to be seized, the introduction of technology must be accompanied by organizational changes. But for school organization to change, the incentive structure that determines how teachers teach and students learn must first be overhauled. The reocord of past educational technologies shows that serious adoption of a new technology occurs only at the margin, where "there is both support for change and no powerful opposition to it."
