Digital technology has rapidly become a major component of modern society. The world is constantly evolving as new products are constantly developed that help make our everyday activities easier and more comfortable. People interact directly or indirectly through social media, online games, mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.

Advantages of Digital Technology

Connectivity

With the Internet, you can connect to people around the globe regardless of distance. It is easier to stay in touch and build strong relationships with friends, family, and people far away. You can express yourself with words, videos, audio, and pictures through social media, messaging and texting. The Internet gives access to information about information of interest and allows you to stay updated with the latest news, trends, and happenings around the world.

Entertainment

Digital technology makes it possible to enjoy music, sports, games, and videos anytime, anywhere. Content creation, distribution, and consumption are much easier.

Advancement in technology in the music industry has improved the quality and availability of music, and it has also provided several streaming platforms for music.

Since the creation of the first computer game, ‘Computer Space,’ in 1972, video games have gradually evolved over time. Players now have the luxury of enjoying the games whenever they are, even on their mobile phones.

With digital technology, you can get land-based casino experience on websites like Woo casino in your home. Random number generator technology ensures fair games for all players.

Employment and Jobs

People are able to take up multiple online jobs allowing multiple streams of income. There are also many self-employment opportunities for both young and old, like blogging, affiliate marketing, YouTube, etc.

Digital employment opportunities like software developing, writing, and Web designing are made available through digital technology.

Information Storage

Storage of relatively large amounts of information in small spaces is possible through digital technology. You can store, share, and back up large amounts of media, data, files, and information on small devices like your mobile phone. It also enables instant access to stored files.

Disadvantages of Digital Technology

Data Security

It can be difficult to keep a vast amount of private data or information concerning individuals or an organization safe. There is a risk of private information going into the hands of cybercriminals, terrorists, etc., due to a breach; hence there is increased concern over data security.

It is quite hard to have personal privacy in the digital world with the use of technology like CCTV cameras.

Crime Rate

The increase in the rate of crime through the use of digital technology is alarming.

Plagiarism, identity theft, fraud, and the proliferation of faked documents are examples of criminal behaviors linked to the digital revolution. Internet crimes are on the rise mainly because it is possible to operate anonymously online.

Increased Dependence on Technology

Technology dependence is the inability to perform daily activities without the use of some devices. It is linked to anxiety, nervousness, anguish, depression, and other symptoms that occur with many addictions.
