The Central Asia is a geo - strategic region for the big states, which mainly are Russia, China, and USA. Being the 
buffer zone for the various traffics (human, drugs), and strategic place that divde Europe and Asia continents, it forces 
to be attractive to rule and manipulate these countries. The rural inhabitans of the Central Asia, that particulary were 
nomads. The politics leaded by Soviet Union changed the life style of the people. Rapid step from rural live to 
sozialism, changed the people & ideas, but not totally.  
Information plays important role in the world and it affects to Central Asia too. Being part of the world that 
physically situated between West and East makes Central Asia very unique. But this region is very amorph term. Even 
now, it doesn't unite the people so good as it use to be. People that are living on the land that begins in Altau and ends 
somewhere in flat of Afganistan. People that have one history, one customs, similar languge doesn't communicate so 
effectice as it use to be. Do the era of informational society change something in this issue?  
But even now, we can see that information and informatisation going insides of the society. But slow. The lifestyle 
and processes taking part in Central Asia usually going slow. Probably it's comming from the history and deeps of 
tradition. When something going fast and in rush - it's only annoing, irritate the surroundings. Do information goes 
contrary the traditon and custom?  
Turk and nomadic civilisation that had before rural, nomadic life style was turned up-side down. The Soviet 
regime changed mainly the life of nomades and forced them to settle in one place. Tradition was changed.  
The new era of informatisation come in Central Asia somwhere in nineties, when one cultural and political 
revolution crushed the Soviet regime. The atmoshere of empty and disablility were evrywhere. The geates of Soviets 
regime were open to westernisation.  
New era of informatisation came and it was hard for that time, to understand and sense it for people that where 
born in precious time. But every cultural, social, poitical changes usually change lives. People that lived about fifty 
years under the chronoshpere of totalitarism and tsensure became free. The lifestyle was changed.  
The term "Informational society" appeared in Central Asia recently. It's hard to understand where it begins and 
where ends. And means abilities and skills to use new-technologies and communicate through them. According to this 
region, it can be said that in informational society involved mainly small social active part of the society, that have 
opportunities in access to high-technologies. It can be said that "informational society" is a some kind of elite club for 
people in Central Asia, that devides society who are inside and outside the informational system  
The informatisation of the society goes slow. There are a lot of problems that connected as well as with high-
technologies and leak of people to access and use it. Situation with internet, that is a tool that helps shape the 
"informational society", also going slow.  
Many people believe that the era of informatisation changes our lives. Ultimately, this may be true. As for Central 
Asia, this region has potential to be integrated in world informational society. In this way, new generation need to be 
open to new ideas, new technologies to use it in everyday live. This will help make social, economical processes 
effective and fast then ever.
