This advent of “cyber-physical systems” represents new ways in which technology has embedded itself within societies and even our human bodies. It affects many aspects of business, society, and even day-to-day life in a significant way. In fact, technology is now in the hands of everyone. Who among you remember the car-based mobile phone service of PLDT in the mid-80s?
This technology, which was available to only a few in the 80s, has now grown to 124.2 million mobile connections in the Philippines. Today—because of digitalization—anyone with a smartphone and internet connection can easily access information about almost anything under the sun in a matter of seconds.
