Where are OUR theories?

The Theory Development article seemed to jump around from perspective to theory and back again without any solid conclusions. The authors presented a plethora of ideas, but made no distinction of which theory or perspective is best. Though I was frustrated that with this process, I realized that this in itself should be the conclusion that I draw from the article.
The authors state that "it can also be observed that every time new media or technologies are introduced the field is tempted to reinvent the
wheel. This suggests a need for (1) a consolidation of the theoretical approaches, and (2) a kind of classification of the various models so their relationships can be more clearly exemplified and more robust theories elaborated."
Since technology is developing at such a high rate, we are constantly seeking new theories that include these new technologies. What we need to do is formulate basic theories about learning with technology that can be adapted to any new product. What would this mean? We would probably need to look at the core learning theories first. For example, what if we look at Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. Within his seven different types of learning, he predicts that learners have the ability to learn through all modes, but have strengths in certain areas. What if the addition of technology into our daily lives has allowed learners to adapt to a new kind of learning style...a sort of combination of all of Gardner's ideas...where the strengths lie in a particular combination rather than one type of learning? What if being exposed to technology and learning through it at a young age changes the way that we learn?
I think there is a lot of work to be done here, especially because of the rapid development and expansion of technology that has occurred over the last decade. Thus, we are just beginning to see learners who have been exposed to these new technologies their whole lives. What kind of research can be done now that could not have been done in the last ten years? What kind of core learning theories can be developed with respect to those who learn through these media? So much to do...so little time...
