    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.
