Abstract

Digital communication is based on the conversion of analogue information into digital information as well as the transmission and processing of digital information. This fundamentally changes the nature of human communication. The promised effects of the digitalization of communication are to save time and create more freedom of action. However, digital communication also leads to new dependencies and social control. This generates a new challenge for moral discernment.
