poised for immense social and financial growth, driven by advancements

in digital technologies. By lowering the costs of social and economic

transactions, digital technologies promote growth in several areas and

allow people to do business with one another more easily. As connectivity

spreads throughout the world, access to innovative technologies will

continue to improve the global economy.

As the number of people connected online

continues to grow, individuals’ ability to

interact with one another socially and

economically increases. From digital banking

opportunities to the sharing economy, there

are innumerable ways in which connectivity

promotes economic growth.
