WHAT IS DIGITALSATION

Digitalization is the generic term for the Digital Transformation of society and the economy. It describes the transition from an industrial age characterized by analogue technologies to an age of knowledge and creativity characterized by digital technologies and digital business findings.

Digital technologies have a huge impact on society. Digitization is affecting every industry on areas like financial policy, employment and competition. Digitization is not a new phenomenon. For many years, this concept has encompassed technological developments in general, especially in information technology. The impact of digital economy is being felt in many areas. For instance, some of the services and products that were previously analogue, such as travel arrangements, music, film, translations and media are becoming digital.

Digital technology also has a positive impact on the fundamental aspects of our culture, including health care, law enforcement, art, education, mobility and religion. For example, the technological advancements in the health care industry have provided doctors with the opportunity to treat patients in a virtual environment by using mediums like video conferencing. Video conferencing also plays an important role in the legal environment. It enables judges to listen to the cases of criminals who cannot enter courtrooms because of security reasons.

The long term consequences of digital technology are not always foreseeable.

• In a conclusion Digitalisation means using online technologies to improve services for people and business. It also means using data and technology to redesign how government works. We will use data and technology to rethink how we deliver value, how we operate and our organisational culture.
