Much like reading, the modern student can now interact with computer messages, even respond to questions or to computer commands. Again like writing, the learner can form messages using computer language program.

The novelty of CAI has not waned to this day especially in the basic education level as this is offered by computer equipped private schools. But the evolving pace of innovation in today’s Information Age is so dynamic that within the first decade of the 21st century, computer technology in education has matured to transform into an educative information and communication technology (ICT) in education.
