This paper reviews the transformation of Pakistan's agricultural society into an
information society and factors causing this transformation. Key indicators of
emerging information society in Pakistan are analyzed with the help of
literature search, website visits and personal communication with experts. The
analysis reveals that many internal and external factors are causing this
transformation such as declining natural resources and rapid growth in
population and its needs, international debt and dictation by IMF and World Bank
in each and every economic and political move. The picture captured through
literature and website review reveals that Pakistan's agricultural society is
rapidly transforming into the information society. Key indicators for the
emergence of the information society in Pakistan include e-government, IT
policy, rapid growth of the IT and telecom sector, increased teledensity,
Internet services, e-learning, e-health, e-commerce, etc.
