Digital technology has radically transformed almost every aspect of human life in recent years, including communications, the workplace, entertainment, travel, banking, and shopping. This article lists 4 examples of digital technology and then explains each in more detail.

Websites

The internet is itself the function of multiple pieces of digital technology, and websites are one of the most common ways that people access it. Websites give us all sorts of information and have become increasingly interactive – for example, not only can you see what’s on at your local cinema but you can buy your tickets too.

Buying and Selling Online

Shopping online continues to grow and provides consumers with increasing choices and value. You can buy from a large retailer at the other end of the country, or from an individual in your home town. Likewise, selling online can be carried out large scale as a commercial enterprise, or just to make a little cash from selling an individual item you no longer need.

Smartphones

The introduction of mobile phones revolutionized communications, both through voice and texting. Now we have smartphones, which incorporate many other types of digital technology such as cameras, calculators, and mapping. Phone apps are expanding consumer options even more.

Digital Television

Digital technology has transformed televisions in numerous ways. For starters, both the picture and audio quality has undergone dramatic improvements. Modern televisions can also be used to stream movies and shows, rather than just receive programs via an antenna or cable connection.

Digital alternatives to traditional print are now plentiful. This enables users to access a multitude of reading materials from a single, portable device, so there’s no longer the same need to carry around a lot of bulky, heavy books. It’s easy to alter the font size and style to suit reader preferences. Plus, unlike with print books, there are no trees cut down to make them.
