Study Notes
Moore's Law
- Predicts that the number of transistors on a computer chip will double every one and a half to two years.
- Captures the exponential growth of computing power and reduction in cost.
Digital Products Characteristics
- Immateriality: Lacking physical presence, allowing for easy duplication and distribution.
- Indestructibility: Not prone to degradation or depletion, making them available to others indefinitely.
- Borderless: Not limited by geographical boundaries, enabling global accessibility.
Economic Impact of Digitisation
- Facilitates the creation of new digital products and services.
- Leads to a significant reduction in replication cost, making digital products more accessible.
- Accelerates growth and facilitates job creation.
Schumpeter's Concept
- 'Gale of Creative Destruction' describes the process of industrial mutation that revolutionizes the economic structure from within.
- Refers to the transformation and renewal of industries through innovation and entrepreneurship.
Digitisation as an Economic Driver
- Has emerged as a key economic driver in recent years.
- Accelerates growth and facilitates job creation by reducing barriers to entry and increasing global accessibility.
