Digital technologies are increasingly ubiquitous, affecting every part of human life. Although they first emerged after World War II, progress accelerated dramatically with the rise of the Internet in the 1990s, followed by mobile phones, among other technologies. The speed of progress has reached new highs through advances in processing power, more capable software and the convergence of various other technologies, even as costs continue to decrease (Goldfarb and Tucker, 2019).
