Digitalization of EU comes at a price
Author: Marko Kaluža
As we all know, the European Union wants a strong and integrated Europe that works with green, clean energy and technologies that do not exploit Mother Nature. That’s why digitization is being fast-tracked in all EU countries to get rid of all the technologies of the past that exploit nature.
All this digitalization comes at a price, because countries do not have enough money to even implement digitalization, not to mention that the EU would have to fund programs that promote the use of digital technology from smartphones to computers. Of course, we all know that the younger generation does not need this because they were born with it, but on the other hand, we have an older generation of people who do not even know how to turn on a computer.
That’s why Slovenia, for example, has announced that it will promote digitalization on highways with a digital vignette, which was implemented this year, and it has even announced that it will distribute digital vouchers for children in elementary schools (they must be in 7th, 8th or 9th grade), high school students, faculty students and people over 55. With these vouchers, people can take a computer course and learn how to use computers, or they can buy keyboards, headsets, laptops, monitors, printers, computer tablets and so on in technology stores.
In this way, the countries of the European Union are trying to promote digitalization in every possible way to make life easy for everyone in every EU country.
I believe that in the near future, digitalization will come everywhere and life will become a bit easier because people who live far away from an urban area will benefit from it, and if we look at the current situation with Covid-19, we will be able to process “papers” from home, so we do not need to be in contact with people anymore. And on the other hand, people can save money on their car, or more precisely, they can save money on gas or electricity.
But we must not forget to mention how digitalization will affect our health. I will have a debate about that.
