Digital transformation

Digital transformation refers to the changes associated with the application of digital technology in all aspects of human society.^[1] Digital transformation may be thought as the third stage of embracing digital technologies: digital competence -> digital literacy -> digital transformation. The latter stage means that digital usages inherently enable new types of innovation and creativity in a particular domain, rather than simpy enhance and support the traditional methods.^[2]

In a narrower sense, "digital transformation" may refer to the concept of "going paperless".

Digital transformation affects both individual businesses^[3] and whole segments of the society, such as government^[4], mass communications,^[5] art,^[6] or medicine.^[7]
