Intro
This entry reconstructs “digitalization” from a system perspective of the year 2049. It shows that digitalization was not a structural transformation, but the transfer of existing systems into digital forms. It is classified as a completed transitional phase, not as an evolutionary movement.
Observation
In the archives of R2049, “digitalization” does not appear as transformation, but as a semantic transition phase:
“Paper became PDF.
Meetings became video calls.
Processes became workflows.”
Reconstruction
The functional logic remained unchanged. As a result, digitalization did not operate as a rupture,
but as the transfer of existing structures into a different medium.
Structural Classification
Digitalization was not an evolutionary leap, but a completed transitional operation.
