Digital Economy: Why Does It Matter To You?

by Kory Taylor on December 7, 2009

Maybe you haven’t noticed, but the world economy is in the process of going digital and more is on the way. Technologies like Skype and GoToMeeting are allowing people to interact in stunning clarity over IP networks and their desktops revolutionizing the way we do business.

The latest televisions are now widget enabled and internet ready which allows users to enjoy their favorite social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter right from the comfort of their living room.

Health records are in the process of being digitized because for too many years we’ve relied on unsustainable means of data entry and preservation adding massive costs to our health care system. Would you believe that less than 18% of all patient records in the United States are digital? It is true.

Businesses have realized the value or their information and have taken steps to preserve and protect their digital information. Digital economy businesses rely on analyzing massive amounts of digital information to bring new products and services to market quicker than their competitors.

Many of us have joined social networks because we enjoy the interaction, entertainment and knowledge sharing that it brings to our lives. We post photos, write blog posts, post tweets and update our status constantly.

“If the world economy, television, health records, businesses, and even you and I have gone digital — the next logical step is to create your personal brand and take advantage of the opportunities the digital economy presents.”

This is an interesting video of what is already happening

…and what is next to come.
