Dijital World

“Digitalization and Digital Transformation”, which has entered our lives now, has created a brand new world. Moreover, it creates a separate virtual world in the world since we live digitally, it also increases job and employment opportunities. This also puts people in a whole new process of habituation, both positive and negative. For example, you are someone who keeps hard copies of your personal information or data, such as a diary, and only you know where your diary is. With the cloud storage system, which is one of the beautiful features of the digitalization era, you can store your diary in a digital environment and access it from any device wherever you are. We can also think of it as putting your diary in a locked drawer. But there are also a few downsides that this situation brings with it. In the classical method, the people who will find and read your diary are limited to people who are close to the drawer where you hide it. A diary stored digitally becomes susceptible to theft from anywhere in the world. Because this is the case, people and/or companies need Cyber Security Experts. In short, concepts such as Digitalization, Industry 4.0, and Society 5.0 create new possibilities for us, both good and bad.

Society 5.0 and Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, thanks to the Internet of Things (Internet of Things or IoT), can be called smart objects in the most general form, which enables devices to communicate with each other. For example, when it comes to smart homes, "I can manage the lights at home with my phone while I'm outside." If you think of a sentence like this, it means that you are thinking about this revolution. So what were the previous revolutions? Industry 1.0, or the first industrial revolution, created a source of employment for people with the power and skill to use machines to produce consumer goods (for example, looms). Industry 2.0, or the second industrial revolution, brought the production of machines to the forefront and reduced the role of human beings, and employment was provided to people who knew how the machines used in the industry worked and/or how they were repaired. Furthermore, people who had the skill/strength to transfer the product from one machine to another, or control it during the mass production process, were highly desirable employees. Industry 3.0 provides employment to people who have knowledge of automation systems, computers/mobile tech and informatics. Industry 4.0, on the other hand, is based on the internet of things, managing another device with a completely different device, as well as ensuring the security of those devices, and monitoring the speed of the connection between two devices. As the digital world emerged in the fourth revolution, intangible items such as bitcoin and our personal data started to become more valuable instead of tangible items such as gold and oil.

Human-robot relationships may begin to form in the industry as Society 5.0 aims to close the distance between the digital world and the real world. For example, today we have Human Resource managers, but in the future there may be a need for Human-Robot Resource Managers that will help humans and robots to work in a more integrated manner . As machines start to replace muscle power and procedural intelligence, software developers who understand the electrical hardware or software of robots will be in demand in the future. With the technology of autonomous delivery robots, courier and postal services may disappear. The term cashier may be a thing of the past, as the cashier-less payment points that we are used to seeing in markets become more common. In this brand new world, which we call the digital world, there may be a need for managers who can control the security of personal data, program robots that will benefit humanity, accelerate and control the communication between devices; or there may be a need for designers who design the interior of smart homes that will proliferate in our real world and ensure that smart devices can communicate with each other without conflict. A world that will start to emerge with new sub-branches in management and design is waiting for humanity.
