The digitization phenomena characterized by new technologies innovated out of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the 21st century offers unprecedented breakthroughs such as artificial intelligence, Big Data analytics, edge computing, Internet, social media, augmented reality, mobile technologies, block chain, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, open education resources, robotics and shared economy applications.
