Description
Information technology has been affecting us in every day of our lives, especially social media has been the main means of communication in our society. But, all the access to this current and ever-growing technology has always been limited to using it in English, Arab or other languages because our language didn’t come up to speed with the current technology.
Though there has been lots of efforts to develop Tigrigna or other languages application programs to help us use our language, there are still lots of gaps that could be filled to achieve the competence of our languages. In light of this, the paper will briefly discuss the ongoing efforts to have our native language integrated in the current development of information technology. Some specific examples and future plans that will help us as Eritreans will also be discussed with how it can affect our literatures and thus our influence on our society.
