Abstract
The concept of the information society arose at the beginning of the industrial revolution and is defined as an automated society, which in its daily activities relies on information and communication technologies, on organizing data and turning them into useful information using a set of equipment and computers for the development of both society itself and economics, trade, education, healthcare, etc.
In the information society, not only production will change, but also the whole way of life, the system of values, the importance of cultural leisure in relation to material values will increase. Compared with the industrial society, where everything is aimed at the production and consumption of goods, in the information society, intelligence and knowledge are produced and consumed, which leads to an increase in the share of mental labor. A person will need the ability to be creative; the demand for knowledge will increase.
The directions and features of the formation of information and communication technologies inSyriaare considered. The six most important projects of the Syrian ministries on the development of the information society, as well as signs of the reality of this activity are shown.
Government ministries inSyriaplay different and complementary roles that contribute to the development of the information society.
The Syrian government has recently begun a movement towards creating an information society that can keep abreast of developments in the current era, and the Syrian government is making serious efforts to develop special policies for each ministry to move towards an information society.
