The Paradox of Digital Society

The presence of IT and the internet on the one side may offer facilities, but on the other side the wild and uncontrolled growth of digital society is even likely to create a grave tragedy of humanity.

Paradox, inconsistency or polarity are basically the terms to describe a contradictory situation, something that frequently is referred to as an irony.

What is meant by the paradox of the growth of digital society is a situation of an ambivalent, even contradictory nature, when people are entering the era of digitalization and the use of the internet is even more massive.
