It seems the there are many questions but the important thing is would the institutions and companies benefit from computer statements and figures and also the internet language and to what extent the people utilize the computer for the interest of any party it is used?
No doubt the computer has an ideal relationship to the increase of production and organization of works and programs related to bilateral relations, but companies and establishments in Yemen, despite of possessing computer machines, many of them do not use but very few.
A field study mentions that the computer in newly used in Yemen and many people are ignorant about how to use it and its benefits. Computers mostly are bought for decoration or for teaching children as for big businesses they do not use it that much.
