The Transformative Impact of ICT on Global Social Dynamics

The beginning of the 21st century was marked by the phenomenon known as the digital revolution. While past shifts like agricultural or industrial revolutions were addressed primarily towards classes or masses, the digital transformation has a unique characteristic: it appeals directly to the individual.


Traditionally, social life was determined first by religious beliefs and later by ideological values. Today, technology serves as the primary lens through which individuals perceive and express their personality. They consider things not through the prism of collective thinking, but through personal consciousness. This individual-centric influence that place individuals at the heart of public discussions and debates, not only reshape our cultural perspectives. It also redefines political systems.


This dynamic indicates a move away from traditional representative democracy where large groups or classes held sway. Instead, politics and discourse now unfold in open digital arenas, where every individual can have a voice and directly engage.


This transformation is also manifesting in the rise of a new, digitally connected global community. These people, empowered by the information revolution, are not just passive spectators. They are active shapers of future visions and behavioral norms. Free from geographical boundaries, not physically connected to traditional conveyers and production lines, they exemplify a significant social shift. It's not just a change in societal structure; it's the birth of an individual-centered digital culture that reimagines global unity and interconnectedness, where every person can make a mark.
