Content           

Since the inception of the Internet and the world-wide-web in the late 1990s, we have witnessed dramatic increase in our ability to communicate in new, richer, and flexible ways. The key technological changes associated to the digital transformation are linked to (1) the emergence of the the internet and associated technologies and applications (protocols, infrastructure, media); (2) the development of devices that allow us to communicate with an unprecedented level of richness from anywhere, anytime; (3) the use of new algorithms that can automatize a wide range of tasks, including those that have been traditionally performed by human beings.

These technologies have had a tremendous effect on the way we learn, shop, communicate, play, and generally live our lives and run businesses. Broadly speaking, the digital transformation has
• Radically altered the way people interact with one another.
• Put a world of information at the fingertips of individuals and companies.
• Lowered cost of targeting.
• Enabled the generation and use of large amounts of business and behavioral data.
