Arabic online content: Kingdom leads the way

Arabic online content: Kingdom leads the way

This is a very revolutionary move. The approach is spot on. Indeed! it is time to change paradigms. 21st century imposed other types of knowledge patterns. Sources of knowledge are not always in books ( be it litterature, human sciences or else)...they may exist in databases and computers as well.

I salute this endeavour by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to enrish the Arabic digital content on the web. If all Arab countries - especially translation programs as well as private and public instances- get to follow and gradually implant the same strategy, we could achieve  remarkable cultural, political and educational gains...We are LIVING in a knowledge based society....Not content, but bigger than that...KNOWLEDGE.
