Think of how far society has come in just the last 20 years due to technological advancement. How different are the things you now do daily?
There is a wide range of activities you can do simply from your phone. Capture a special moment forever and share it with your community, easy access to navigation platforms, or if you’re not in the mood to cook just order in.
It’s fair to say society has undergone a digital transformation. We can access information in ways even our grandparents may have never imagined. Digitalisation has changed the way society and businesses engage with the world. This phenomenon has expanded to mostly all areas of our lives, healthcare, shopping, education and so on. Digital transformation, however, has progressed differently in various parts of the world and not at the same pace in distinct fields.
