With the development of scientific and technological progress, there has been a change in information exchange systems in the world both in the business sphere and in various spheres of human life. The various kinds of Internet and information technologies and electronic systems started to be used in everyday life. Today, the development of Internet technologies allows to process a huge amount of various kinds of data. In turn, this requires further development of the above technologies. All this is a consequence of the widespread penetration of digitalization.
Expert in the field of high technologies, IT engineer Ruslan Abishev told Kabar that in today's realities, in the context of a world that has already changed, which faced the problem of the spread of coronavirus, the development and implementation of digital technologies is becoming extremely important.
“A similar step had been brewing before, but previous heads of state had little glimpse of the future. President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbay Jeenbekov is the first among presidents who raises the most important questions, problems, and sets the right vector for the development of the country through his initiatives. One of the most important is digitalization. In fact, what is smart technology? Thanks to the introduction of digital systems, citizens will have the opportunity to order and receive any kind of goods and services, pay bills and much more, without leaving home. Now in quarantine conditions caused by the rampage of the coronavirus, this is especially important. I can state that in the country there are already such services that can be implemented remotely. First of all, I want to say that over the past two years, especially, the quality of the Internet in the country has grown significantly. And for this reason, we have the opportunity to order food, medicine, pay utility bills, replenish the balance of mobile communications, pay bills for the Internet and ITTV. This is the great progress that President Jeenbekov has moved forward. I can say with confidence that this is only the beginning. Digitalization will also affect the regions, and this process will become one of the fundamental in the further development of the country as a whole,” the expert said.
It should be noted that the implementing digital technologies play an important role in improving the competitiveness of economies, both globally and nationally. Recently, growth in this sector has been observed in all countries.
Advisor to the Rector of the International University of Kyrgyzstan Almaz Nasyrov said: “We are on the verge of global transformations. President Jeenbekov has set a number of tasks for all of us, after implementation of which Kyrgyzstan should become part of the best countries in the world. But for this we need to make every effort and implement a wide range of measures to achieve the transition to digitalization. Quite a lot has been done at the moment, but we are only at the beginning of our journey.”
In recent years, a large number of various conferences and round tables have been held in the country, which were devoted to the implementation and development of digitalization in the Kyrgyz Republic. This is the correct, one might say, evolutionary transition to new realities. It is necessary to continue to educate different circles of the population, especially in regions where it is quite necessary to carry out the same events that were successfully held in the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic Asylbek Aydaraliev said: “The transition to digitalization is an important historical moment in the history of our state. Digitalization can actually change the state of economic indicators, and, therefore, bring the country to a new level of well-being. As you know, mountainous countries experience significant difficulties in many areas of life. All this is due to geographic specificity. And just the transition to digitalization can change the situation radically. President Jeenbekov wants to blur the boundaries between the regions and the center, and this will serve as the main engine on the path to the full development of the country, which should work as a holistic mechanism. I emphasize that the mountainous countries are on the so-called list of unsuccessful states. They, in turn, are highly vulnerable economically and in matters of ensuring internal and external security. This is also an important aspect to keep in mind. Therefore, we need to do everything to achieve our goals. After all, they are aimed at solving common problems.”
Modern information and communication technologies significantly change all social relations, in connection with which we note with confidence that a new information society is emerging, which is called "digitalization". Thus, the modern world is undergoing an information revolution, and large capital flows from tangible assets to virtual ones.
In this regard, it is important to emphasize again that the head of state focused on the introduction of modern information technologies in the regions.
“What is the information world, it is the ability to receive information, process it and apply it in order to improve. Thanks to the possession of the necessary information at this stage, many important issues are resolved. But the main thing is that many farmers, educational institutions, and local authorities will be involved in modern trends and gain access to the world wide web. Through it, domestic IT specialists will develop and implement new programs to develop and improve new techniques in various fields of science and life,” said Pavel Dementyev, an analyst with the Center for Strategic Studies (Moscow).
The most important step in the development of digitalization in Kyrgyzstan will be informing the population about the transformations that are coming in the republic. Sooronbay Jeenbekov emphasized the need for large-scale work to clarify among the general population, especially in rural areas, the benefits of using new technologies.
“Digitalization is one of the key development factors, both of the country as a whole and of regions in particular. Without reaching a new level of interaction, it is impossible to talk about any development. By the way, this topic is very relevant also in that it touches on the most important link - children and the entire human resource. The president of the Kyrgyz Republic stated that it is important to continue to connect regions to the Internet so that it would be high-quality and uninterrupted in all educational institutions of the country. The time has come to bring the national, public and civic consciousness to a fundamentally new level. This indicates an increased share of responsibility of the new leadership of the country,” Dementyev says.
Note that the reality of the modern world involves new socio-economic challenges, namely the development of states through the prism of digital transformation, through the introduction and use of digital technologies, which replaced computerization and informatization. For Kyrgyzstan, this experience is the first in history, but we must hope that the country is able to overcome such challenges, solve all the tasks and move on. The world, quite possibly, will no longer be the same as before. A coronavirus pandemic can trigger new processes, which we only recently treated with some irony. The course taken on digitalization should definitely bring Kyrgyzstan to a new level. We all need to be united around the common tasks that President Sooronbay Jeenbekov sets. Kyrgyzstan deserves to become a progressive state.
