Without question the 21st century is an age in which digital technology is no longer a luxury but a necessity. It's the digital revolution. 

According to the Pew Research Center the awakening of the 21st century saw nearly half of all adults using the internet regularly but today – 17 years later - 9 out of 10 adults are regularly connected. Over 95 percent of adults own a cell phone and 77 percent own a smartphone. But phones aren't the only way we connect. Today 8 out of 10 U.S. adults own a desktop or laptop computer and tablet ownership has increased from 3 percent in 2010 to 51 percent in 2017.
