Prof. Hongladarom’s concern is mainly on how science and technology can be integrated into the lifeworld of the people in the so-called Third World countries, and what kind of ethical considerations can be obtained from such relation.
A large part of this question concerns how information technology is integrated in the lifeworld of the Thai people, and especially how such integration is expressed in the use of information technology in education.
