The level of IT use by society in Armenia is one of the lowest
in the world and is comparable to the indices of Ghana, Kenya and
Zimbabwe, says the executive director of the Union of IT companies
Karen Vardanyan.
Even though Armenia is quickly developing chip design very small
number of Armenians use IT in both everyday life and business.
In order to improve the situation Vardanyan suggests equipping schools
with relatively cheap portable computers – Armenia will need some
$15-20 mln for buying each such computer for $100. Besides it is
necessary to convince our people that IT are not just for leisure
but for raising the efficiency of work, syas Vardanyan.
