Prescribed enduring understandings
• “Digital society” is a contested term used to describe contemporary life. There may be multiple digital societies rather than just one.
• Digital society involves the transformation of analogue processes and objects into digital forms.
1.1.A
Digital society has multiple names.
1.1A
1.1A
Information age, computer age, post-industrial society, network society, fourth industrial revolution.
The concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution was coined in 2016 by Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, in a book of the same name. "The Fourth Industrial Revolution creates a world in which virtual and physical systems of manufacturing cooperate with each other in a flexible way at the global level".

Digital divide(s)
Lloyd Morrisett coined the term digital divide to mean “a discrepancy in access to technology resources between socioeconomic groups’’ (Robyler, 2003, p. 191).

Integrated circuit, microprocessor, personal computer, the internet, online social networks, mobile and cloud computing.
The idea of ARPANET, one of the earliest computer networks, was proposed by Leonard Kleinrock in 1961, in his paper titled "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets."

1.1.D
Digital systems use binary digits to represent data and information.
1.1D
1.1D
Binary, bits, bytes
The term 'bit' first appeared in print in the computer-science sense in 1949, and seems to have been coined by early computer scientist John Tukey. Tukey records that it evolved over a lunch table as a handier alternative to 'bigit' or 'binit' -- The New Hacker's Dictionary, under bit (see www.jargon.8hz.com/jargon_toc.html)

1.1.E
The digital is different from the analogue.
1.1E
1.1E
Analogue
• Continuous physical qualities and signals
Digital
• Discrete signals with finite set of values
Analog and digital signals are used to transmit information, usually through electric signals. In both these technologies, the information, such as any audio or video, is transformed into electric signals. The difference between analog and digital technologies is that in analog technology, information is translated into electric pulses of varying amplitude. In digital technology, translation of information is into binary format (zero or one) where each bit is representative of two distinct amplitudes.

Digitalization is the use of digital systems to change the structure and/or operation of an organization.

Digitalization and disruption in education, businesses and organizations.
"Disentangling digitization from digitalization may seem like a nit-picky exercise, but they are very different concepts with very different implications.
The overall goal of digital transformation is to increase the productivity and creativity (decision making, connectivity, innovation, and augmentation) of individuals and organizations." (www.Asite.com. 2021.)
Digital disruption is a result of one or more of three convergence factors: Technology, Intelligence, Customer expectations.

“There is a digital transformation coming at us nowadays in the form of an evolution of technology – social, mobile, analytics, the cloud, and the Internet of Things just to name a few. By themselves, none of these creates issues. However, the confluence of these technologies has changed the way we think about doing business, and what makes up this digital transformation. Companies who simply adapt their technology to the way they do business are missing the boat. Leading-edge businesses are instead adapting their businesses to the capabilities these technologies provide.
