Digital Technology Transformation.

Since the beginning of the idea until now, approximately 80 years of history have been achieved by digital technology, digital technology, when it was popularly known as computer science. During which time this technology has penetrated into various sectors of human life.
As a change in technological development, today digital technology is popularly known as the G-4 phase. Various equipment ranging from equipment that is used daily to sensitive military technology cannot be separated from Digital Technology. However, digital technology is a development that existed before, namely analog technology.

Digital Definition

The word “digital” comes from Latin – digitus, finger – and refers to one of the oldest tools for counting. When information is stored, transmitted or forwarded in digital format, it is converted into numbers binary – at the most basic machine-level as “zeroes and ones.” processed by microprocessors.

According to programminginsider.com

Digital technology refers to electronic tools, devices and systems that process, transmit and store data in binary form. Unlike analog technology, which carries data in wave length signals, digital technology encodes data as true or false, on or off.

According to Forbes, digitization is taking analog information and encoding it into zeros and ones (binary language) so that computers can store, process, and transmit that information.

The digital technology that we enjoy now is the result of a stage-by-step development carried out by experts. In short, the development of computer technology, In short, the development of computer technology, mathematics, physics, and principles of engineering also electro is closely related to the development of digital technology, as adapted from Wikipedia, as follows: and electro technology is closely related to the development of digital technology, as adapted from Wikipedia, as follows:

1947–1969: Origins
1947, the first working of transistor, the Germanium based point contact transistor, was invented by John Bardeen and Walter Houser Brattain while working under William Sockley at BELL Labs, this led the way to more advanced digital computer.

1969–1989: Invention of the Internet, a rise of home computers

The public was first introduced to the concepts that led to the internet when a message was succeed sent throgh the Arpanet in 1969. Networks such as ARPANET, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, in which multiple separate networks could be joined into a network of networks.

1989–2005: Invention of the World Wide Web

Mainstreaming of the Internet,Web 1.0 in this time Tim Berners – Lee (1989) invented the World Wide Web.

2005 – present:

Web 2.0, social media, Smartphone, Digital Terrestrial television, Video game, Video game console.
