THE INTERNET ● A MEANING STRUCTURE

Glory to digitalization! Yes, but why?

Social change is what turns the wheel. Technological change is a collection of tools, working for social change.

Technological change:

● Decentralized data and decisions (Cloud)

● Connected technologies (IoT)

● Immersive experiences (Metaverse)

Social change:

● Social status (influencers)

● Curating identity (in social networks)

● From consumer to prosumer (smart contracts)

→ The driver of digitalization is neoliberal self-determinism. Digitalization is not done for the sake of digitalization. The purpose of the digital toolbox is not the toolbox itself.
