The authors processed statistical data on the use of information and communication technologies in various enterprises of Russia: the number of personal computers per 100 employees, the number of computers connected to the Internet, etc. Due to the widespread use of ICT (information and computer technologies), it is necessary to improve the education system at all levels. The task of the various levels of education is to master students all the possibilities of digital technology and all the possibilities of computers.
