Abstract

Digital technologies are changing the patterns of production, consumption, communication, and interaction in modern societies. This is because of their transversal nature, which makes them present in almost all areas of economic activity. Its potential for positive impact on the economy, government management, and society is not linear, nor automatic, the determining factors of this are a source of discussion in the literature on the subject. However, based on the study of the evolution and trends of the digital paradigm, we can assume that the lag of developing countries in the use and deployment of such technologies for the advancement of productive and technological capacities could prolong their underdevelopment condition. This article analyzes the current state of the digital gaps in Mexico, in regard to the most advanced countries, and a balance is made in relation to the two main goals of the National Digital Strategy of the past government administration. The results of the research make it possible to measure the magnitude of the challenges and opportunities of the future digital agenda that the country requires in order to become an important promoter of the development and well-being of the population within the framework of the strategic objectives proposed in the Plan Nacional de Desarrollo 2019-2024.
