Today, the ever improving role of computers and instructional technology have lead us to the controversy of where and when to utilise them efficiently. Since computers occupy most of our lives their application in education is very common. But their intrusion may sometimes result in failure that stems from the lack of peculiar human attributes. Besides computers are always effective in human teaching and learning process in the conditions such as they have information but no authority , they are passive obedient, have no space time constraints and can be ignored when not needed like pedagogues of old times.

Through computers and networks one can access any kind of information, knowledge or multimedia resource. Besides they don't limit us like the people who hold authority. Any information can be extracted from them regardless of permission and thus promoting the research skills of students.
