I. INTRODUCTION

With the advancement of information and communication technology, the whole world has become a global village. In such an era it is impossible to function without technology. Information and Communication Technology spread around the world in the latter part of the 20th century. With this, many new technological equipment and techniques were created. Among them are multi-functional mobile phones, Nano technology, and computer technology. The computer with the ability to translate into languages that are capable of translating into languages can translate into a great technological advancement in the modern world due to the way the computer overturns the time and space between the teacher and the student, the mobile phone and the doctor, and the cell phone that eliminates the distance. From 1988 to 2003, the efficiency of the computer has increased by four million times (http://ravaya.lk).
A computer is a technical device that can be used to make people easy and efficient (http://www.yourdictionary.com).
