Modern Life
The Digital Revolution
The digital revolution began with significant inventions like the World Wide Web,
created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. It has paved the way for mobile phones, MP3
players, digital TV, and computers. Technologies have reshaped daily life, especially in
places like England, where 76% of homes have Internet access and 9 out of 10 people
own mobile phones.
Impact on Daily Life
The digital revolution enables global communication, remote work, online shopping,
and digital entertainment. Everyday appliances like radios, washing machines, and
cameras have become more advanced and affordable. However, technology also
makes life busier, leaving less time to relax. Concerns include excessive screen time for
children and a decline in real-life social connections.
