Digital Citizen in a Digital World.

Technology as the name implies in my own opinion is a combination of “Techniques” and “logy” (i.e. in-depth knowledge of a discipline or something), these words are coined form the Greek “technologia”. Technology as a word is gaining its way into different careers/fields of endeavour examples of which are information technology, communication technology, medical technology, fish technology, building technology, marine technology etc.

Technology has helped human’s creativity in relation to his immediate society or environment. Productivity is highly increased in the economy, educational and leisure arena due to technological advancement.

Most unwanted by-products that cause pollution have been effectively converted to useful products due to technological advancements & Technological innovations.

This technological advancement has been predominantly upheld by the use of computers.

Computer is equivocally registering its presence in everywhere. Recently Toyota announced a major problem with their car brake system due to a software error, Television, Washing machines, Electric ovens, Toothbrush are getting more and more computerized and digitalized which is the beginning of the digital world.

Simultaneously to this development is networking or network technology which will invariably result into all these digital electronics/devices being connected either wired or wirelessly together in a way that humans will be virtually everywhere at any given point.

Internet sometimes is defined as a network that is nowhere and everywhere at the same time. I can’t actually wait to see the manifestation of this digital world. To thrive in this world you actually need to get going.
