The Korean Peninsula leading innovation that contributes to the evolution of human society by making good use of digital technology.
Leading the Digital Society
Humanity with the experience of great transition to an industrialized society, triggered by the printing technology.
The future transition triggered by digital, a technology that makes knowledge interactive and available on demand.
The need to consider social changes in work, education, healthcare, culture, to houses, cities, and governance.
Leading future change by anticipating and preempting the needs of future society rather than merely following technological change.
The advent of printing technology in the 15th century transformed medieval agricultural society into a modern industrialized society. The dissemination of the Bible through printing undermined the absolute power of the clergy, and the spread of knowledge led to the downfall of existing vested interests such as royalty and aristocracy. The knowledge dissemination through books also spurred the development of science and technology, leading to the Religious Reformation, the Democratic Revolution, and even Industrial Revolution.
Just as printing was the key to the rise of modern society, digital is the key to the rise of the future. Printing produced uniform content because knowledge could only be communicated in a one-way direction. However, digital enables customized contents through two-way communication of knowledge, in as much quantity as needed.
This shift in knowledge delivery methods is revolutionizing civic life, including work, education, and healthcare. Remote work, digital healthcare, and even institutions like Minerva University, a campus-free university utilizing digital technology, have emerged. These changes will lead to a comprehensive transformation in our society, such as housing, cities, and governance.
Those who recognize and preempt the future of digital will be the ones who drive change. There is no better opportunity for the Korean Peninsula to gain new growth momentum and become a leader in the international community.
