This is the world of Digitalization

Around the world, countries are welcoming the new digital era at various speeds. There is an overwhelming growth in awareness of the internet and its capabilities. The world is becoming digital. In this digital world, internet is fitting in to people’s lives across the countries. People spend half of their leisure time online. With the increase in internet penetration, more and more people are integrating this medium in their daily lives. Internet usage whether through mobile phones or computer systems, is becoming a major part of our life.

Internet is not only about being active on social networking sites but it is also about using search engines, online banking, researching for a product or service, paying bills and many more. There is a very interesting use of internet that now anyone can sell something online. This is a very new thing that has been introduced in the era of internet. But I personally think that before buying a product, we prefer to see, touch and smell it.

It is also encouraging people to connect to internet through their mobile handsets. There was a time of commerce which also came as E- commerce which is known as electronic commerce but now something new has introduced which is M-Commerce. Few years back nobody thought that they will be able to transact through computers but now the technology has become so advanced that now there is M-Commerce too and people can transact through their mobile phones.

Although internet has become an important part of our lives but still we haven’t reached the point where our digital communications have taken over our preference for face-to-face interaction. There is something very interesting that now also ‘traditional’ forms of communication prevail when people are in contact with family members (including parents).

There are still certain people across the globe people who no longer see the internet as an important tool for communication but there are some people who think that it is a vital tool for communication. The nature of its relationship to the user may change from person to person, but what’s consistent, is that it has become an inseparable part of our lives.
