digital society

Tech-mediated human community

A digital society is one in which information technology pervades daily life—communication, commerce, government, education, and social interaction increasingly occur through digital platforms and networks.

The term often appears in discussions of how widespread internet access transforms citizenship, privacy, economic participation, and human connection: We're still learning to navigate life in a digital society.
