in each and every aspect of our lives. Anybody who wants to
succeed in today’s world cannot afford to ignore computers and
communications technology. Irrespective of the field that one is
going to specialize in, the basic knowledge of modern technology
is an absolute necessity – may it be sending an e-mail, surfing
the Internet, making a presentation using one of the presentation
