| Information and communications are at the
heart of human life and social development. People have always
worked together by sharing information and knowledge through
speech, writing, the printed word and, more recently, telephony
and broadcasting. Sharing information empowers individuals and
communities, and enables whole societies to benefit from the
experience of everyone within them.
The last decade has seen major changes in our capacity to
communicate and share information through new developments
in information and communications technology, particularly
the Internet. These changes offer tremendous new potential
for effective communications, but their availability and accessibility
to citizens and communities depends on decisions made by many
people in government, business and civil society - decisions
that often seem arcane, technical or specialist but which
have profound implications for the future of society.
Keeping in view these crucial necessities, ACSA envisaged
the need of a comprehensive and integrated publication in
2000 and printed “the Computer Science bimonthly”.
As Afghanistan is very new to ICT, therefore to create awareness
among Afghans regarding this new technology is vastly required.
ACSA desires to launch this program (the Computer Science
bimonthly) as an inclusive source of information for the people
where the “Publication Team” will work hard to
ensure all commitments are fulfilled and all challenges are
addressed.
The magazine, which publishes 6 times a year after each couple
of months, was launched in 2000 and circulated 4 issues in
2000 and 2001. After 2001 the publication was stopped as a
result of financial and technical Impecuniousness. Now when
circumstances are changed it is started again by its 5th issue
with a circulation of 2000 copies and targeting 10000 copies
at the end of its operational year.
