The Future: Digitalization
As the pace of digitalization accelerates exponentially, how can business and society keep up? Is that even possible? How much digitalization can we tolerate? Can we still operate in “real life”? Digitalization is today’s buzzword. They say that everything is going digital in the near future. Is it?
Digitalization changes everything. The tasks we carry out and the tools we use change. Digitization is a clear process, which can be understood by everyone. However, when the pace of digitalization quickens it tends to cast a shadow over the reality of our world, even becoming a threat to it. To avoid this, we need not just to think about reality, but also about how reality can be perceived and experienced.
Accept it. Digitalization will happen whether you like it or not. The more you resist, the harder it will be. Stop worrying about what you’re going to do about it.
The only constant with Digitalization is that it happens, and is going to disrupt everything around us, so why not be prepared? We are already in the midst of this digital revolution, and it’s expected to continue through the years. The implications of this digital shift are enormous. The things we rely on to connect with each other are changing. From phones to laptops to the internet itself.
When you understand how you can use this new wave of digital opportunity to grow your business, you will no longer resist the changes impacting your life and business. Start thinking about how you can use digitalization to your advantage, and take the leap.
The digital revolution is not overhyped. It is everywhere. Consequently, the opportunities are everywhere. Unfortunately, most people are oblivious to this fact. Don’t be a laggard in awareness and capitalizing the opportunities that abound from digitalization. If you still use a printed book to read, if you still use a yellow page phone directory to look for businesses and services, if you still work on business cards with pencil, or send letter-sized documents via regular mail — you’re out of digital era. Yes, world’s changing that fast!
