Abstract :
In the absence of an extensive and intensive causal science of learning, computer applications for education have most often been shaped by external factors. Programming for the manipulation of numbers came first, followed by word processing and the manipulation of text. These are briefly discussed, and the potential of electronic mail and multimedia, which have not found much educational application as yet, is examined
