ABSTRACT
Like other more economically advanced developing countries, South Africa has areas which possess highly sophisticated primary, secondary and tertiary industries. In South Africa these are represented by the main urban areas and the Pretoria-Witwatersrand-Vereeniging Triangle. Such sophistication, coupled with technological advances and falling computer hardware" costs, has led to widespread and rapidly increasing use of the computer in commerce, industry, government and research. These circumstances, close educational links with western countries and South Africa's serious educational problems have led to a burgeoning interest in the computer's applications to education and training in the last four or five years.
