The concept of high­tech is not just for rocket scientists any more.It is trickling down to everyday usage, and serving a useful purpose for humanity.The electronic dictionary, also known as had­held translator or pocket translator, is an effective learning tool that captures students' interest and does much more than just translate. Idioms, antonyms, synonyms, irregular verbs can be used interchangeably. The class time is not wasted on the flip­flip­flip of dictionary pages any more.
