Digitization has taken the world by storm in the last few decades. From conventional methods, we have switched to digitals methods. From record-keeping in a book, we own computers to store the necessary information. Instead of writing letters, we have various digital ways of communication, such as e-mail, text messages, and phone calls. Along with that, if one is missing their friends or family and cannot meet them, they can have a video call with them and feel better.

The beginning of digitization dates back to the 1940s when Claude Shannon penned the article, A Mathematical Theory of Communication. Later in the 1950s, semiconductors were invented. The most significant landmark in digital evolution happened in the 1960s when the first message was sent over ARPANET, the father of modern-day internet. Following that, the world witnessed the greatest digital revolution as first-ever home computers were invented, and video games were also introduced. Jobs sprung up related to data entry to convert analogous data into digital. In the 1980s, the World Wide Web is introduced to the world and subsequently, digitization made way to the workplaces. After that, the World Wide Web became accessible to the world, the 2g network is made available and along with that, selling of cell phones started on a commercial level and for the first time, a soccer match has digital HDTV broadcast in the 1990s.

It was not until 2000 that the digital revolution spread beyond the United States. Every household had its own computers. Digital cell phones became increasingly popular. Furthermore, the digital revolution spread to the whole world. Eventually, in 2010, the digital revolution was a fulfilled dream.

After 2010, workplaces were digitalized and the plans started showing enormous success too. In the never-ending quest of innovation, the companies increased their budget for digital projects, dominating the businesses. Along with that by 2016, the gap between mobile web apps and offline engagement is diminished. Also, social media, mobile technology and IoT devices are made available to the users as well.
