Digital technologies are largely affect the day to day life of person in which people
enhance their skills and knowledge (Baron, 2015). As it also affect in positive and negative way
because interacting with people thorough social media create negative impact as compare to face
to face meeting. By this number of people decrease their way of talking, handling people and
dressing sense as well. In addition of this, every type of things are define its positive and
negative impact. In this case digital technologies are also play vital role in daily life (Thatcher,
2014). Therefore, people also do their work without taking help of digital technologies as they
are don't addicted of digital technologies. This will helps in improving their performance level
and at the same time also enhance career growth (Boss and Krauss, 2014). Along with this,
every country use number of technologies as all the people are living in digital world. This will
aid in improving the growth level of the entire population as nation use full of digital
technologies to do their daily life work (Burniske and Monke, 2014).
