Refers to applications, platforms and tools used to create, store, manipulate, retrieve, and transmit information coded in the binary computing system, as combinations of 0 and 1 digits. Digital technologies have radically transformed the way contemporary societies deal with information and communication and feature widely in the methods utilised by contemporary society to produce and enjoy communication flows. Consequently, they are to be found not only in the fields of computing or the computer industry, but in all walks of life – employment, culture, services, public administration, and leisure time.
