In the twentieth century, society is strongly supported and guided by digital technologies. The use of these wide array of digital tools are becoming more common than ever before—from navigating on the Internet to retrieve, use, and create information/content, to work management apps (like email platforms, note taking apps—both from our computers or smartphones—calendars, and more), communication tools for both professional and social purposes (social network platforms, video calling software, instant chat apps, and others). We are living in a new age of ubiquitous digital engagement for communicative practices and processes. We all demand immediate response and access to information when looking for information or a response through a search engine; paying bills; checking our transit records; purchasing online; making doctor appointments and many more.
