The history of technology in language teaching could not be linear in a country like ours where social differences prevent technologies such as paper, the book, and even the electricity is within everyone's reach. Many obsolete technologies, such as the slide projector, for example, have never reached in certain schools. The computer has already been integrated into the language teaching of some institutions and many teachers have already adopted a didactic material accompanied by CD-Roms. It has already been possible to observe a gradual change of many who rejected in principle the innovations brought by the computer and the Internet. Although this technology continues to be seen by some as a miracle cure and by others as something to be feared. It is quite possible that the computer does not reach everyone, but it is necessary to remind that neither the book nor the computer will be miracles in the learning process.

I do recognise that there are many kinds of digital divide, and that this is not true everywhere.
What can put teachers off using technology
What is still sometimes an issue is the reliability of these technologies for classroom use. This can discourage teachers from making use of technology as often as they would want to. It's compounded by the fact that, if these teachers are working in schools, they are faced with classes of learners who may, on the surface at least, appear to be more digitally competent than their teachers are. Learners can therefore challenge their teachers, in ways that put the latter off using the technologies that could potentially make such a difference to what happens in the classroom. (…)
