3. Create Laziness
ICT has made information readymade, stored and
accessible faraway from the shackles of time, energy

and memory. All is available in just clicking on
internet via Computer. Hence no need of memorizing
and struggling to find necessary subject matter in
books that in turn leads to laziness.

4. Lack of Proper Training
undoubtedly, ICT is more beneficial in promotion of
religious education if used in a proper way. Most
teachers and students find it very difficult to make use
of some ICT materials like computer, internet etc.
They lack the technical know-how of the adequate
use of the computer and of internet. Many people also
have phobia for technologies that they may often be
referred as timid. Some, of their religiosity,
considered modern technologies as prohibited.

5. Leads to cyber-crimes
while surfing on internet, some anti-religious
advertisements appear on the computer screen that
leads its users towards watching hedonistic/immoral
clips. Besides this, immature users unconsciously serf
unethical and restricted area that leads them
sometimes to cyber-crimes.
However, the advantages and disadvantages of
ICTs are in a polarity and this may bring to note
whether to continue or not the usage of ICT in
religious education.
