The Digital Age
With more and more digital products coming into use, we are entering the digital age. We have computers
to process documents at office, we watch digital TV programs at home, and we listen to MP3 players when we are traveling on buses or trains. It seems that whatever we do we use one digital product or another.
Digital products have fundamentally transformed our way of work, education and life. To start with, the
last decades have witnessed immense changes in the workplace owing to the advent of computers. The jobs of book-keepers, typists, copymachine operators have been vaporized by digital computers and at the same time, computer-related jobs have grown in dramatically large numbers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What’ more, new digital technologies have made possible “a learning revolution” in education. It is no surprise to see students sit in multi-media classrooms watching lectures without a lecturer standing on the platform. One of the most fundamental changes that have taken place is how our leisure time is spent. We listen to the radio and MP3 msic on our way, watch TV in the evening and chat with friends about those TV programs the next day through MSN, an online chatting software. When we travel, we take a digital camera with us. It is hard to imagine a life without digital products now.
Admit it or not, just as advances in biotechnologies changed the way we farm, digital products have altered
our daily life entirely.
