Document Summary
The digital re voluti on: we live in the information age, where the production, distribution, and control of information is the primary driver of the economy. Started in the 1970s with the digital revolution, or the conversion from mechanical and analog devices to digital devices. These new digital devices could be connected to other digital devices and share data: bell(cid:859)s la(cid:449): a (cid:374)e(cid:449) (cid:272)o(cid:373)pute(cid:396) (cid:272)lass fo(cid:396)(cid:373)s (cid:396)oughl(cid:455) ea(cid:272)h de(cid:272)ade esta(cid:271)lishi(cid:374)g a (cid:374)e(cid:449) i(cid:374)dust(cid:396)(cid:455) Fun damen tal forces c han gin g techn ology. Processing power, interconnectivity of devices, storage capacity, and bandwidth are all increasing extremely rapidly, changing how these devices are used. Computers are getting exponentially on an integrated chip doubles every 18 faster. The cost of data processing is months approaching zero. The value of a network is equal to the. More digital devices are connected square of the number of users connected together. The value of digital and social to it networks is increasing exponentially.
