Information Technology is a new branch of Science developing at a greater pace where as other branches of sciences are pretty old, and evolved simultaneously with humanity. Older generations of scientists who are new to it find it very difficult to cope with the pace of development in the field of IT and their ignorance of IT makes it very difficult for them to function and provide results. Computer literacy has now become an essential part of curriculum and the new generation of scientists are experts in computer technology as well. Another important fact is that due to specialization, everyone is concentrating in his own field and an information technologist seldom finds time to learn anything outside his horizon. He is engaged in outsmarting others, making applications more and more complex. He fails to understand, that it is highly essential to integrate his products with other branches of sciences and the ultimate aim is welfare and improvement of the living conditions of human being. There are instances of scientific experiments failing due to lack of proper synchronization with the information technology. Both scientists and technologists blame each other for the failure.
So, what is a remedy to this problem? Every one has to realize that IT has become an integral part of day-to-day life and survival without it is difficult. Scientists who are lagging behind should acquire knowledge in this field by practical training. This is where E Journals are of significance. They can acquire knowledge through subscribing to E Journals without affecting their activities. Similarly, a computer technologist too should explore ways to suit his products to the requirement of other fields. Finally integration of both will surely be advantageous to the growing needs of the humanity.
