Albert Bandura is arguably the most influential living psychologist among many greats to study Social Learning Theory. His Theory has influenced many areas of inquiry: education, health sciences, social policy and psychotherapy among others. As it relates, the internet was once a wealth of knowledge that was read only, that now provides results in our search engines that are socially interactive reactions. Surfacing as the newest area of influence is Social Learning Through Technology because most learning online is done by social interaction between one or more people to solve a problem or comment a topic. This was a revelation by Bandura that we could learn by watching each other, which has become a primary component of how we learn in our modern day enlightenment journeys. Social Learning through Technology is a powerful element that we will be around for a while, but I wonder will it take over the learning process and teach fundamental skills?
