The notion of digital society reflects the results of the modern society in adopting and integrating information and communication technologies at home, work, education and recreation.
Digital innovations are reshaping our society, economy and industries with a scale and speed like never before. They can also improve the governing process by helping policy-makers take better decisions and engage citizens.
The Internet has considerable potential to promote democracy, cultural diversity and human rights like the freedom of expression and freedom to information. LIBRe Foundation is committed to leveraging the benefits and tackling the challenges in order to create an inclusive, secure and sustainable digital society benefitting from the Internet and digital technologies; focusing on:.
Digital society policies and regulations are a complex of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programs that shape the evolution and use of the Internet and digital technologies on both local and internal level; thus maximizing their social and economic potential for doing business, working, playing, communicating and expressing ourselves freely.
Successful delivery of these policies and regulations will spur innovation, economic growth and improvements in daily life for both citizens and businesses. Wider deployment and more effective use of digital technologies will enable us to address our key challenges and will provide us with a better quality of life through, for example, better healthcare, safer and more efficient transport solutions, cleaner environment, new media opportunities and easier access to public services and cultural content towards:.

Cost reduction is also a benefit I've seen from the teleworking setup, which is powered by modern technology. However, with the help of advanced business software, you can seamlessly integrate all business processes, even those in locations where you need to use different languages or currencies.
When it comes to sharing and processing business data, you can automatically gather, process, and present everything in a form everyone can use. You can also make accounting, marketing, sales, and other activities of a global business more easily accessible with the right tools. Improved security: New technologies such as blockchain can allow businesses to implement better ways to secure business transactions without compromising transparency and creating delaying layers of bureaucracy and security measures.
Blockchain could be used to secure financial transactions and the files companies collaborate on , for example. They could have a case of technophobia or a fear of trying new things. It may be necessary to conduct demonstrations or seminars to show how technology can greatly benefit business operations and more importantly, how it can make jobs easier.
Others may have a fear that technology will take over jobs from humans. Employers can allay such fears by supporting professional development and showing employees that new job opportunities arise as some of the jobs are automated or taken over by artificial intelligence and robots. Some employees may dislike a new system at first but begin to like it after they get properly acquainted with its proper use and the palpable benefits.
Wrong choice of technology: This is a mistake on the management's part. No doubt! Computer has made massive makeover in education field. Three decades ago, if anyone has a doubt to be clarified in a learning process, finding right expert itself was a cumbersome task and there may not be available further opinion about the subject.
Although the different and more easiest clarification or solution are available on the other side of the world, we were unable to know its whereabouts because lack of communication. In this modern world, our "Guru" as all we know is "Google search" being evolved as Human Assist adopting Artificial Intelligence the latest trends in Computer application. In education sector, teaching and learning reached new highs after started using computers in our life.
We can find answers virtually on any subjects in a moment, and can communicate this information to number of ways in real time. Needless to say, we can see every educational institution has interaction of students with computers and most of them are equipped with smart class rooms. The invention of tablet computer made smooth transition to student with computer from heavy bags carrying books and other learning accessories.
Libraries have gone digital as well, so the public have access larger amount of information virtually anywhere. Connecting to the internet gives us access to worlds of information right at our fingertips and anywhere.

Most of the universities offer distant education and exams using online channels to their students in which many famous universities have made tie-ups with MOOC providers. MOOCs become a paradigm in the heart of real knowledge seekers who gets new horizon to the world of learning with learner's convenience.
The title itself declare that learner has to be online for MOOC's course, ie. It taught by various universities all around the world with the help of MOOC technology. MOOCs are available both free and paid for anyone with an internet connection, time and thirst for knowledge.

It brings learning process to the learner's convenience as well as unlimited participants. Although computer science is already widely used in education, Schmidt envisions a new way of using computers to make education smarter. Recognising that everyone learns differently, he suggests using computers to monitor the different ways students learn.
This will give teachers the ability to identify the most successful teaching models and augment their teaching to make education more effective. Schmidt is convinced that we need to produce more entrepreneurs everywhere, and calls upon universities and governments all over the world to encourage entrepreneurship and new ideas. No one can afford not to digitise services, according to Schmidt. Schmidt is a firm believer that technological innovation will ensure more benefits for more people — giving them access better products, services and information.
He believes that computer technology will continue to improve the standard of living and create opportunities for everyone. At the same time he questions if our addiction to technology is making us happier, pointing to the fact that 97 per cent of people sleep with their smartphones plugged in next to their bed, and touch their smartphones on average times! The past five years have been the years of the mobile, yet according to Schmidt the next generation is machine learning — i.
Instead of programming a computer, you teach a computer to learn something and it does what you want. Making the devices smarter is key, as their role in society is becoming increasingly important. He illustrated this by pointing out that smartphones are an increasingly important tool in all professions, even for nurses in the NHS. Computers are used as manipulate structures for a wide style of industrial and client gadgets.
