Thesis explores connection between technological development and development of social institutions that requires a literate and educated population for its operation. Historical analysis of modern bureaucratic state and its development will show that computer code is taking a central place in social organization, thus increasing the need to implement such technologies. Consequently, this leads to growing interest to acquire this kind of intelligence the same way it once did with writing and reading. Special attention is paid to the institution of school, its role and development within bureaucratic state, while providing possible solutions in the transition to the information society. This claim is supported with case study of Estonia, arguing that it can be used as an example of successfully executed digitalization of state organization. Estonia is shown to be relevant example for Slovenia, due to their many similarities including their independence and successfully executed early economic transition.
