The Digital Revolution began in the 1980s and refers to the shift from analog to digital technologies. It started with the development of the transistor and computer in the 1940s-1970s and the introduction of the internet in the 1980s. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, digital technologies like the World Wide Web, mobile phones, and other devices became widespread. While digital technologies have increased efficiency and connectivity, they have also led to greater dependency on machines that can leave people disadvantaged when technologies break down.
