In the progression of computers in 1950s up to the present time, technology had been continuously
developing in the past decades, and had played many roles in the lives of people. Computer
knowledge has now evolved from a fad to an absolute necessity in the real world. The former
Department of Education Secretary Armin Luistro stated that Its not enough that we merely continue
building classrooms and utilities, the real revolution in education which has long term effects can only
be done through technology. On the 26 th Annual Convention of the Philippine Convention of the
Philippine Association for Teachers Education, Representative Egmidio S. Tanjuatco Jr. stated that the

guide the use of the tools, and todays workplace demands expertise in these various technologies in
order to compete in the 21st century workplace (MacArthur Foundation, 2008).
