changed since the introduction of computers: The search for information has become easier and amusing, and connectivity has expedited the data availability.

As computers are becoming a common tool for teaching, teachers should be more aware of their role as guides in the acquisition of knowledge rather than transmitters of facts. They have to be open minded to the changes that are taking place, keep updated and serve as problem solvers in the learning process,

No matter how complex computers become, there will be no replacement for the human interaction, but in the way haw the interaction takes place.
