The media, including newspapers, magazines, and advertisements for positions often emphasize the importance of the use of technology in the workplace.

Technology, along with the vital role of adult educators, helps learners grow, change, and develop. Through the discussion of these, and related issues, a model titled Learners' Seeking Transformation via Web 2.0 Technologies, has emerged.
