Positioning Australia as a leading digital nation

The rapidly expanding and evolving digital world

Digital technology has resulted in a highly dynamic, evolving transformation that touches all aspects of our lives. It provides new concepts, capabilities and business models not possible through other means. Governments, organisations, businesses and individuals now communicate, collaborate, and provide or use services based on digital technology. The tyranny of distance is rapidly diminishing and terms such as e-commerce, e-health and e-learning are now part of the general lexicon. The Internet of Things (IoT) and big data, coupled with rapid progress in artificial intelligence and broadband systems is resulting in a very different world, including: the way we create, use and store knowledge; a greatly increased presence of autonomous systems; and the emergence of smart cities.
