Digitalization of communication through the introduction of software

applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, etc.,

drastically changed the way we communicate with each other. We can now
connect with anyone at any given time without being restricted by time and
space/place. Improved and fast communication due to digitalization has
allowed us humans to function easily and with much less errors. Also,
digitalization has aided the infotainment industry. We can watch
documentaries, news, movies with a click on the screen in the comfort of
our homes or from anywhere we want.
One of the most prominent changes as can be seen has been the
increased usage of UPI or Unified Payments Interface. UPI has reformed
the way we conduct commercial transactions. It has provided inclusivity for
small scale businesses in the economy by allowing them to set up credit-
acquiring systems conveniently. The introduction of UPI has reduced the
dependency on the previous card/cash-based payment systems. The new
digital infrastructure has moreover encouraged entrepreneurs to open up
start-ups and online businesses. Thus, we see that many Indian
businesses have started emerging in the domestic and international
market, boosting the country’s economy as well as providing a much-
needed self-dependent employment ecosystem.
The Covid-19 pandemic best highlighted the digitalization of daily life. With
every physical contact-based activity being suspended for a considerable
period of time, digitalization of daily life was the only option. Education was
made digital through online classes conducted through apps like Google
meet. Use of various online software for daily activities increased.
