The Digital Revolution is the newest economic revolution. Like the
Industrial Revolution, the Digital Revolution marks a complete shift in our
society, signals a new era, and alters many aspects of our lives. While
not everyone is familiar with the term, the Digital Revolution refers to the
shift from technology based on analog and mechanical electronics to digital
technology.

Digital technology allows information to be copied and replicated
precisely. It is due to digital technology that our society is now so defined
by computers, smart phones, internet access, and cell phone
communication. The Digital Revolution, in fact, marks the beginning of
a new age: the Information Age.
Advantages
It isn’t hard to see the advantages of the Digital Revolution. You
probably benefit from it every day. In fact, if you are reading this article,
then you are experiencing one of the benefits of the Revolution – it
vastly increases the knowledge at our fingertips, expanding our
understanding of the world, and compiling entire encyclopedias of knowledge in
online databases. Consider some other advantages of this Revolution:
·
The Digital Revolution links
individuals and groups together. Never before have we been able
to communicate real-time with others in distant corners of the world. And this
advantage is not limited to international communication – we now have instant
access to our friends and family members a few miles away. Unlike traditional
telephones, cell phones have brought this ‘communication power’ into our hands
in the most remote locations.
·
The Digital Revolution has created
tools that are catalysts for sharing ideas. No longer do you need to be the
executive of a wealthy business in order to share your thoughts with others on
a broad scale – using social media and common technologies, ideas can
be shared and innovation can be accelerated.
·
Similarly, we now have a world of
online opportunity. Start-up companies can begin
in a bedroom with a single laptop. Jobs can be obtained – and worked – in the
back of a truck deep in the forest. You can find and purchase rare books
through online services without getting out of bed.
·
While not all may appreciate
it, the Digital Revolution forces competitiveness on a global scale. Prior
to the revolution, stores only needed to compete with other stores in their
region. A book may not have been the best book on the subject, but only needed
to be the best book that the library had. Now, the level of competition is
global. If this competitiveness hurts smaller, less efficient and lower-quality
entities, it allows us, the consumers, access to a far wider marketplace of
goods and knowledge.

Disadvantages
While we can all recognize and appreciate the powerful advantages that the
Digital Revolution brings to our fingertips, I write this article primarily so
that we would recognize the disadvantages that tag along. The Digital
Revolution has become such an ubiquitous part of our lives that we may hardly
notice the damaging effects that it brings along. My point is not to
focus on those clear and obvious evils such as hackers and organized crime that
are so obvious – you probably already understand those problems. Rather,
consider how the Digital Revolution can bring about such disadvantages on a
personal and societal level:
·
You and I are gifted beyond measure
to live in an age when so much knowledge is available, but as I have previously described, people abuse this wealth of
knowledge in three ways: (1) by only wishing to be acquainted with many things,
(2) by turning its blessing into a curse, and (3) by wishing to know only for
the sake of knowing. (You can read more about the abuse of knowledge here).
·
By opening up so much knowledge to
us – and presenting it at our fingertips – the Information Age allows
evil to spawn and grow at an alarming rate. From the questionable to
the perverted, from the dubious to the depraved, the same information can be
presented to us instantly and transit the globe in moments, without allowing
society time to sit back and consider the information or ideas that are offered
to us.
·
A whole family can now live in a
single house and yet live like single people, because this Revolution
breaks down many relationships and our sense of community. While we
can maintain friendships in distant states and countries, it breaks down all
those friendships which are not actively fostered in the digital realm. When
you get on a bus or train full of people on their smartphones, it reveals this
sad truth: that everyone is connected, but only to those whom they chose to
connect with.
·
Similarly, digital
technology breaks apart our sense of political and regional community. This
has been in decay for some time now, but the Information Age is tearing it
apart faster than ever. The idea that we can choose our friends through social
media, and stay connected with only those – without spending time with those
who live and interact around us – tears down the idea that we live in a
community, in a special place in the world. It tears down the idea that we need
our neighbors on a political level, which prepares for the abuse of democracy.
·
Finally, the digital realm
encourages passivism, rather than discernment. Having information
presented on a screen (as it constantly is in the Information Age) welcomes
viewers to sit back, accept the message that is presented, and move on without
time for reflection. While movies and media all communicate messages, digital
electronics have a strange way of obscuring that fact and encouraging passive
consumerism. Television has been around for some time, but only multiply the
problem.
Like fire, electronics make a handy servant but a dangerous master. Or, as
we could alter the phrase, ‘Electronics make a stultifying master but an
astonishing servant.’ When they dominate our lives, they encourage us to
sit back, stop thinking, and grow ignorant and disconnected. When we harness
them as a servant, then electronics are some of the most beneficial tools ever
known to man.
