This paper argues that present ICT implementation in the educational field has to be analyzed in the right way. With all the potential and glamour attached to it, the way digitization is treated is going to create unforeseen problems in future. As it stands now, implementation of ICT upsets and negates some of our long held views on education. Learning is fundamentally cognitive, interactive and organic in nature. Certainly, Information technology is a positive disruptor in every walk of modern life. As education is a major area of human endeavor, it cannot and need not keep away from such a generational shift. At the same time, it should not take away all the incremental wisdom we have gained till now. The educational personnel should attempt to design pedagogically sound and psychologically appropriate strategies of digital interventions in education. Its implementation should not negate synthetic and organic nature of learning and knowledge making. The tendency to look up on ICT as an all time solution to multifarious issues of education will prove wrong. We should not lose sight of the legitimate but realistic potentials of digitization as well as its shortcomings.
