This study aims to describe past and present contributions to the development of recent technology, how associations (focusing on Europe) try to form the route and determine the best use of this new technology and examine the actual and possible effects of the inventions on society together with the possibilities that the use of computers offer in the broader field of linguistics. Information technology has run a long way to reach its current state, and my main interest is to examine how informatics has evolved from being the vision and invention of a few extraordinary people to become a phenomenon intertwining society on a global scale, eventually creating Information Society. These social aspects can be strengthened and controlled when teaching of and with computer science expands in the educational systems extensively. The current stage of this expansion will also be discussed here.
