This book explores how digital technologies have proved to be a
useful and necessary tool to help ensure that local and regional
governments on the frontline of the emergency can continue to
provide essential public services during the COVID-19 crisis.
Indeed, as the demand for digital technologies grows, local and
regional governments are increasingly committed to improving the
lives of their citizens under the principles of privacy, freedom of
expression and democracy. The Digital Revolution began between the
late 1950s and 1970s and represents the evolution of technology
from the mechanical and analog to the digital. The advent of
digital technology has also changed how humans communicate - today
using computers, smartphones and the internet. Further, the digital
revolution has made a tremendous wealth of information accessible
to virtually everyone. In turn, the book focuses on key challenges
for local and regional governments concerning digital technologies
during this crisis, e.g. the balance between privacy and security,
the digital divide, and accessibility. Privacy is a challenge in
the mitigation of COVID-19, as governments rely on digital
technologies like contact-tracking apps and big data to help trace
peoples' patterns and movements. While these methods are
controversial and may infringe on rights to privacy, they also
appear to be effective measures for rapidly controlling and
limiting the spread of the virus. Next, the book discusses the 10
technology trends that can help build a resilient society, as well
as their effects on how we do business, how we work, how we produce
goods, how we learn, how we seek medical services and how we
entertain ourselves. Lastly, the book addresses a range of
diversified technologies, e.g. Online Shopping and Robot
Deliveries, Digital and Contactless Payments, Remote Work, Distance
Learning, Telehealth, Online Entertainment, Supply Chain 4.0, 3D
Printing, Robotics and Drones, 5G, and Information and
Communications Technology (ICT).
