The possiblity of Reaching Bax's normalisation in our national context. why is it possible? when is it possible/ achieved?

Stephen Bax suggested in his article that CALL (Computer Assisted language learning) has three types which are restricted, open and integrated.
According to Bax "Normalisation is the stage when technology is invisible, hardly even recognised as a technology. In Saudi Arabia, most teachers do not use technology during teaching in classrooms, so we need many years to train teachers and students to use technology freely and normally, but in order to do so, we need to educate people about the limits of the technology used and what to expect out of it.
It is true that I hate technology , because I'm not that good at using it, but I think that using technology in some aspects of our lives is very important and useful especially these dayes.
