In this opening lecture, we explore the meaning of digital transformation and how it differs from simple digitization. By placing today's changes in a historical context of earlier industrial revolutions, we uncover the forces—technological, cultural, and societal—that make transformation inevitable. The episode sets the foundation for understanding not only how digital technologies reshape our world, but why they do so in ways that are as much about people as about machines.
