Computers and Education
Nowadays, it is generally believed that computers are essential for our modern education. They are indispensable studying tool that makes it easier for many people to learn subjects from mathematics to language skills. However, there are some aspects of a good education that cannot be taught using computers.
Computers play a significant role in all fields of modern society. They are widely used by banks for account management and by stores for keeping records of sales and inventory. Computers are also necessary for interpreting data from a patient's history and determining diagnosis. Moreover, computers make an important contribution to the education. They are widely used by school and university students and by students who study at home.
Computers may be very helpful for learning most subjects. Some of those subjects are mathematics, languages, information technology that cannot be taught without computer, and so on. Computers are capable of storing and combining information in a way that makes is very simple to access and use.
Computers simplify students studying by providing them with easy typing software, many useful exercises. In addition, they can make it easier for teachers to assess the students and mark their work.
However, there are some features that cannot be taught by using computers.
For example, it seems obvious that the subject like singing would be virtually impossible to learn without teacher's involvement. Furthermore, while computers can be used by students for learning languages, they cannot provide them with an adequate feedback on their pronunciation or writing skills. Learning such subjects like chemistry and physics would be extremely difficult or sometimes even dangerous without teacher's supervision while having done various experiments.

AH! Grammer Errors! Sentence Fragments! FIX FIX FIX! Speaking of computers, why not try running your essays through a good ol grammer check.
Now that I got that out of the way, I don't know where you are coming from with this. Computers could easily be used in every subject, but, like you said, there are exceptions and teachers should be involved in the lesson too. And though you may not think so, computers could be used in a subject such as singing. There are programs that measure sound levels and such that could help a person know how high he should sing, etc. Most are availiable for download, but the best are always up for purchase. Computers could also be used in a subject such as spanish. My teacher uses the schools laptops sometimes so we can learn to type in spanish. We also describe and create scenarios in Spanish, print them, and she grades them. But honestly, I don't thin they have fully replaced the role of teacher. The best use I have seen for them is that most of my teachers post their schedules, test dates, and homework on the school website which we can easily access in case we are absent. It can also be used to stay in touch with the teacher and ask him/her questions out of class via Messenger programs or plain Email.
What I don't understand though is where do you stand? Do you like computers, or do you think they do not belong in an educational environment. I think they are more than welcome, and should be incorporated even more than they already have been. With the way our world is headed, the job market may require that you understand and know basic computer skills, and the best place to learn is in school.
