I think that this reading was fairly simple and easy to understand. The examples he used to get across the ideas were very normal, simple examples such as the GPS and the photocopying. These simple examples make it easy to visualize the concepts he is trying to explain because the reader does not feel pressured to first try and understand the concept.
I really liked the Machine to Machine concept, where machines have developed their own network of communication that requires no human intervention.
Digitization has been useful and productive in the creation and spreading of information and knowledge. It has helped in everyday life tasks, as well as research and statistical analysis of lifestyle, money, interests, etc.
