Tiivistelmä
Digital communication has become the most commonly used form of communicating today. Through digitalisation our views, ways of understanding and interacting have changed. And today we are living in a world, where computers defy our everyday lives.
The purpose of this thesis is to give a general understanding of digital communication and how it has evolved since the seventies until today. Before the digital era, the way people communicated differed significantly from the way we interact today. Through explaining how digital communication has evolved over the past 50 years, will give the readers a more clear understanding why digital communication has shaped each of us differently as independent digital users.
The research was conducted as a qualitative research, based on the research made online and from personal experience in the modern digital world. The thesis is written in a literature-styled, as it has been found to be the most fit style to explain the evolution of digitalisation.
The thesis includes basic information of digital communication and how ways of human communication have changed since 1970. The research shows how digitalisation has shaped not only the way the latest generation interacts but also affected other generations.
