Impact of Digitalization On Our Lives
Mert YAVuzER
I claim that the citizen will determine the quality of life they ’ ll get in the new digital era . First , let ’ s talk about the internet . We have access to mountains of knowledge and many opportunities to just chat or have discussions about countless topics . And yet many are mostly using the internet for social media . Those websites prey on you to make you stay on the website as long as possible and are often not entertaining . The social media is one of the most unnoticed reasons of the diminishment of life quality . Billions of people are abroad this train destined to nonsense .
After all , digitalization has greatly improved our lives by making almost everything easier and connecting the world . It propels our society forward . Though , it should be said that humanity or just the individuals themselves should put digitalization to good use to advance .

It would be foolish to deny the good sides of the new digital era , though . People can access data fast and easily . They can ask their questions to the experts of the field . The internet is also a great place for exploration . Using websites and software , people can explore the world without moving an inch .
Thanks to digitalization , it is now much easier to keep records of data . Before computers , it was very difficult to keep records for transactions . Imagine a large bank or a supermarket chain keeping records by writing on paper .
Digitalization also made trade much easier . Before it , you had to spend precious time and money to go there yourself or send staff to the location you wanted to trade with .
It is much easier to store and examine archived data . Also , the digitally archived data never decreases in condition , which is not the case for CDs , hard disk , cassettes etc .
