Digitalisation – how and where
The theme of digital innovation and its relations with economy and society discussed in clear and concise fashion
Digitalisation. This seems to be – and in many ways, actually is – the key concept around which development and growth revolve. The concept of digitalisation may appear clear even when is not so and, above all, must always be related to the circumstances in which we find ourselves operating, and take into consideration the changes to be introduced on a case-by-case basis. These are the complex topics discussed by Çağrı Emin Şahin and Metin Hasde in their contribution recently published in the Handbook of Research on Perspectives on Society and Technology Addiction.
The article is entitled “Digital Society: Basic Framework and Concepts” and offers an excellent overview of the relationships between digital innovation and the innovations required by the economic and social spheres to which the former applies to.
The authors begin with an observation: “With the development of information technology, societies have become a part of both national and international progress by exploiting opportunities using the tools offered by technology”. They then proceed to analyse the concepts underlying the new “digital society” that is taking shape and, above all, the relationships connecting them and the more general framework that is progressively emerging. The two authors take particular care to explain how the “‘digital society’ consists of institutions, groups, and individuals organized cybernetically around a certain interest relationship” and that these elements “realize their relations, interactions, connections, and communications with technology via the internet. The structure of the digital society reflects the nature of digital technology as people, technology, business, culture; and social interactions evolve and emerge”.
However, Çağrı Emin Şahin and Metin Hasde‘s conclusions do not stop at merely describing this state of affairs, but also point us towards a development path. As they explain, “There is a need for new frameworks that can transform the complexity of the reshaped world into manageable ideas and shape our perspective”.
“Digital Society: Basic Framework and Concepts” makes for a good guide to follow and find our way within such a complex and constantly evolving theme.
