DENPASAR, Balitopnews.com - No less than 3,062 students of ITB STIKOM Bali for two days, Thursday - Friday, attended industry lectures by presenting 12 resource persons who were experts or practitioners who were competent in their fields. This event was opened online from Jakarta by Dr. Ir. Mohammad Rudy Salahuddin, MEM (Deputy IV for Digital Economy, Employment, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia and was followed online by structural officials at the ITB STIKOM Bali Hall and ITB STIKOM Bali students from their homes, Thursday (January 6, 2022).
Mohammad Rudy Salahuddin emphasized that the Covid 19 pandemic had accelerated the adoption of digital businesses. This is mainly due to changes in people's behavior and activities, followed by various developments of increasingly digitized business models. The trend of utilization can be seen from the increase in various activities and shopping, such as working online, telemedicine and also digital financial services.
It is said that in 2030 it is predicted that 30 percent of consumption fulfillment activities, especially in developed countries, will be carried out online which will encourage an increase in digital payments. The composition of society in the future will also be dominated by young people, digital nettists, such as ITB STIKOM Bali students who are very adaptive to technological developments who are also the main actors and proponents of global consumption. The signal for adaptation towards More Society 5.0 is getting stronger, as can be seen from a study conducted by Google and Temasek in 2021 which stated that by 2020 around 75 percent ASEAN residents had been connected to the internet with a total of 440 million users, of which 350 million people used it for digital economy services and 60 million of them are new users since the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic. "This illustration shows that maybe in the next 10 or 20 years there will be no longer the term digital economy because all economies have been digitized," he
stressed.
