A Systematic Review of the Literature on Digital Citizenship

Abstract

It can be called “digitalization” to first convert all kinds of data such as voice, text, document, image into computer bits consisting of 0 and 1 and then send it to another place with the help of telecommunication technology. The lifestyles of individuals and societies have started to become digital thanks to the whole of the data produced in the digital environment or later transferred to the digital environment. Technological developments in the information age we live in have changed the lifestyles of individuals along with the opportunities they provide. One of these technological developments, especially the internet, has rapidly increased its place in the lives of individuals since the 1990s, and has become effective in many areas such as education, communication, health, politics, industry, and media. Individuals share their feelings and thoughts in online environments, exchange information, and quickly become aware of events taking place in various parts of the world.
