=** LETTER TO THE EDITOR **= As design student I affirm that, nowadays,the computer is the most useful electronic resourse. Society demands us to apply technology in our works, architects use computers to get better results in a shorter time with lowest costs. The idea of Atelier to etelier gives in the point. The benefits of education with technology are exaggerated in contrast to education with traditional methods. Are not these traditional methods those that they give the tools us necessary to make good use of the technology?

Teachers of design use technology to make students to improve their sights; then, the teachers will more useful or useless using computerized programs? Pupils learn to design in a virtual world, where it is easier to create, to finish and to deliver their works (well, its really).

Technology makes easier all the tasks, is a very useful tool but must be used carefully. Teachers of design have to teach students to use a computer and not to depend of it.
