The computer is an important creation of mankind in the field of innovations internet and is an add-on creation that has revolutionized the sharing of knowledge and information in the global society. By 1969 itself, it is assumed that the internet had grown from four host computers to millions of computers. The Internet is without doubt the fastest-growing communication technology today (Dlodlo & Sithole, 2001). It took only four years for the Internet to achieve the same mark as the television revolution, which took 13 years to reach 50 million viewers (Molosi, 2001). There is hardly any part of society that has remained unaffected by such a rapid invasion of new media. The onslaught of internet technology has also left its imprint on the education society Indeed, the permeation of Internet technology into the classroom has created opportunities for students to be active learners and allowed instructors to be facilitators (Anderson & Reed, 1998). If the Internet is growing at such a rapid speed having its impact then, (1) what are the efforts being put in by global and Indian institutions for its prosperity? and (ii) what is the prospectus of media in teacher education? These questions can be answered, only when we look into the socio-political situations in the ever-dynamic scenario vis-à-vis the advantages and limitations of internet technology in the field of education.
