Everest Syndrome
The Everest Syndrome, named by Cleborne Maddux[1] refers to the tendency of teachers to feel the need to use technology, specifically the Internet, in their classrooms simply because it exists (Maddux's choice of words may have been influenced by George Mallory's answer to the question "Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?" - "Because it's there"). The researcher employs this term also to include the often overwhelming effect of massive amounts of information resources and technological tools made available through the World Wide Web.[2]
