CHALLENGES OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY.

The following are scholarly established challenges that digital technologies poses to the society.

• Cyber safety: Involves conduct or behavioural concerns. Examples include cyberbullying, smear campaigns, accessing inappropriate content, creating spoof websites or sexting, downloading and pornographic viewing, fueling conflicts online, spreading false rumours, living on likes and comments etc.

• Economic problems: spending money recklessly by individuals on purchasing unnecessary applications and use of internet data bundles to download things that do not add value to one’s life. Poor productivity and delivery of services by companies and other organizations due to workers indulging in time consuming and distractive online and offline activities using digital technology.

• Cybersecurity: Involves unauthorized access of other people’s computer systems and online accounts. Examples include hacking into someone’s social media service account, downloading and reposting someone photos/videos their without permission or consent.(invading someone’s privacy)
