our lives.

depletion, industrial pollution, digital pollution and more.

includes access to tools and technologies, such as the
Internet and computers, that allow for full participation.
Unfortunately, not everyone has complete digital access
and therefore, are not able to fully participate in digital
society.
DIGITAL COMMERCE

 Digitalcommerce is the process of buying things online

without human intervention. The difference is subtle, but if
Commerce were to be fully automated, right from
marketing and sales to product delivery, it would be digital
commerce. While full automation does seem like a stretch,
some of the largest retail conglomerates in the world are
already implementing this system.
