Who Owns The Future 2

Chapter Two of Who Owns The Future focuses on the digital world and the populations ability to make it useful, or not so much. Digital technology can change the way everything is used, and the way that everything we know as it is, is done. This means, with our ever changing digital world we need to be careful and notice what we post or what we say. Furthermore, think of something you use everyday online, like an online banking app, this app deleted the jobs of someone who used to handle only bank statements for all banking members. Soon enough, it seems the digital world will be able to do more and more jobs, taking more and more people away from from compensation for the day to day jobs that they make a living doing. This is scary to me as one day maybe there won't be a need for certain jobs, and that jobs can be done with the use of an app or a computer. (I know kind of Y2K but none-the-less true.) This shows how the digital world can effect every person, either good or bad, because it can take away jobs and compensation for one group of individuals, but make money for another group of individuals. So, the digital world allows for growth and decline in the working man's/ woman's sense as jobs may be taken away just as easily as jobs can be created.
