Abstract
In a society where most work is becoming computer-based, school work cannot forever resist the change. Computer technology and electronic networks have slowly been infiltrating the schools. Because of the widespread and growing use of such technology in both the home and the workplace, computer equipment is unlikely to end up in closets or even to sit idle most of the time. Hence, for both students and teachers, there is a kind of authenticity associated with using this equipment; for students, the technology represents the future.
