English Abstract: This study was intended to grasp the recent history of the discursive introduction of the new information and communication technologies (NICT) by the Colombian government in the eighties. Its objective was to determine within the official mechanisms of implementation of informatics the discursive and documentary resources for the official policy of modernization of the state as part of its concern for the economic, social and educational development in the context of a starting neoliberal and globalized world. One of the main official documentary sources where the interests and motivations that originated the formal theoretical, and the especially discursive introduction of the new technological developments were researched. It was found that the official policy in these beginnings was determined by the pressure for the modernization of the state apparatus and the urgency for the integration to the tele-communicated world of initial globalization, by the creation of several administrative entities in charge of the introduction of the new information technologies and the training of the human resources that this process required, especially in education.
