From the article:
Digitalisation is transforming the world whether we like it or not. New information and communication technologies are proliferating so quickly, in such a multitude of directions all over the globe, that it is hard to keep track of the changes, let alone understand their full implications. One thing is clear, however: with around half of the world’s population still not connected, those who remain in the analog world, risk being left far behind. Some would even argue that they risk being pushed further behind. From news and entertainment to education to e-health and other government services, the internet has been playing an increasingly central role in our lives.
