49 – 50. "So dynamic is the Web that new
technologies and techniques are emerging all the
time. What's commonplace one year becomes
old hat the next. The only thing that seems to
remain constant is people's desire to transmit and
receive information efficiently and to
communicate with others, no matter what the
means. That's what drives people to shop, invest,
and converse online, and it is the same force that
is propelling them to learn online as well" (Ko &
Rossen, 2008, p. 5).
 A. The Web is so exciting, and new
technologies and techniques are emerging all
the time. What's commonplace one year
becomes old hat the next. The only thing that
seems to remain constant is people's need to
transmit information and to communicate with
one another. These things drive people to
shop, invest, and converse online, and it is
this same force that is propelling them to
learn online (Ko & Rossen, 2008)..
B. Change for the World Wide Web is ongoing,
with innovation constantly changing and
shaping the experiences people have online.
The one stability among all this change is that
people want to be able to send and receive
information conveniently and efficiently, and
people want to be able to communicate with
each other. These forces, which drive people
to the internet for shopping, investing, and
communicating, also drive people toward
online learning (Ko & Rossen, 2008).
C. According to Ko & Rossen (2008), so
dynamic is the Web that new technologies
and techniques are emerging all the time.
What's commonplace one year becomes old
hat the next. The only thing that seems to
remain constant is people's desire to transmit
and receive information efficiently and to
communicate with others, no matter what the
means. That's what drives people to shop,
invest, and converse online, and it is the
same force that is propelling them to learn
online as well.
