What is digital technology? Digital technology, information and communications technology, computerised technology, and a lot of other variations currently exist under the label ‘information technology’. In a technical sense, all of these terms refer to computer-based systems – mainly software applications and computer hardware – that can be used to produce, manipulate, store, communicate and disseminate information. Since the 1980s, these systems have been evolving at a rapid pace and have taken many forms such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, and the internet, and all these digital technologies together have converged into an ever-growing collection of tools, artifacts, and applications.
