At present, no operator or location has information available for digital society.
Digital society is about how people take part in, understand and exercise control within a world shaped by digital systems. It includes access and digital skills, but also privacy, ownership, documentation, interoperability and control over software, data and connected devices.
Within the shared work model, these questions appear in software and digital systems, but also in electronics, devices, design files and experiments. When data, programmable control, access restrictions or the ability to understand and change a system become important, the activity also raises questions about digital agency.
With this capability, system understanding, privacy, ownership, documentation, free software and technical agency are already part of the work.
Digital work already centres on understanding systems, privacy, ownership, documentation, free software and technical agency. It can help people understand, manage and where possible adapt the digital systems they rely on.
With these capabilities, the relationship develops when software, data, design files, digital access or control over a device or system become a substantive part of the activity.
Digital agency becomes relevant in vehicles, bicycles and electronics when software, data, programmable control, diagnostics, documentation or access restrictions affect how a system can be understood, maintained or changed.
In visual arts, music and 3D printing, questions of ownership, access, circulation, design files and software dependence can become part of the creative work. This makes it possible to examine who can preserve, share and modify the work.
Science experiments connect with digital society when data, algorithms, sensors or the inspectability of systems become subjects of inquiry. Privacy, access and the ability to transfer information may also matter.
