what is Digitalisation
Digitalisation refers to integrating digital technology into all our lives and society.
It is the incorporation of digital technology into daily life and the computerisation of processes and tasks for greater access and ease.
what are some positive impacts of digitalisation
Digitalisation has brought about both positive and negative impacts on our social lives. On the one hand, it has made it easier for us to connect with people from all over the world, regardless of distance. We can now join virtual communities and connect with others with similar interests and passions.
what are some negative impacts of digitalisation
On the other hand, digitalisation has also negatively affected our social lives. We now spend more time staring at screens and less time interacting with each other in person. This can lead to isolation and disconnection, even while surrounded by people.
what some Ethical implications
From privacy and data security to employment and the spread of information, it’s up to us to ensure that technology is used for the betterment of society and to promote ethics and equality.
what are some Effects of digitalisation on the workplace and its practice
Mobile office-Temporary offices that are readily transportable or can be relocated. These offices would be used by anyone who needs a laptop and access to the Internet at their office.
Virtual office-A flexible workspace that provides organisations with any mix of services, space, and/or technology without the financial costs of buying or leasing a typical office.
Decentralisation of labour-Decentralised labour means that employees are no longer required to work together in an office to execute various tasks.
Office automation-The set of technology, software, and processes that support an organisation’s information processing and communication tasks to be automated.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-A branch of computer science in which programmers attempt to emulate or create human intelligence in machines. AI in the workplace aims to make computers capable of doing jobs traditionally requiring the human intellect. This might involve data analysis to route phone calls to the appropriate personnel.
Robotics -Robots can be employed to execute activities that are either too risky for humans to undertake or need a high level of repetition.
