Digitization plays a major role in everyday life from iPods and downloading music, to reading books online. I could not imagine my life without everything digitized. My iPod is always by my side, and I love to read online. It is impossible for me to remember a time when I could not search the internet for anything I wanted. While I have never had to personally deal with extreme problems caused by digitization, they do exist. Our entire lives are becoming digital; I know that personally I spend hours each day on the computer or listening to my music. Digitization has caused many problems in today’s society, because when information is made digital anyone can access it, usually for free, and that is where the problem of ownership comes in. When information is made digital, people are not getting paid for their work, or products, like they formerly were; an example is when books are made digital, and authors that used to profit from the selling of said books are now cut off. This trend will continue to move forward, molding the world into something we can barely imagine today. Digital information is the future of our world, and those who do not embrace it will be left behind.
