Cost, of course, is the most commonly cited reason for failure to implement technological integration. The technology is incredibly expensive for a school budget. Furthermore, even when schools have initial help installing technology, maintenance and repair of these systems falls on the schools (Dale, Robertson, and Shortis, 2004). Government involvement typically does not last more than a year or two after the completion of the research and then the schools are stuck paying for all the advancements and upgrades until the entire system becomes so obsolete that they are forced to scrap the program in its entirety
