The far from complete list given in [3] includes the following definitions of the “digital
economy”:
- "A system of economic, social and cultural relations based on the use of digital
information and communication technologies";
- “An economy that mainly operates due to digital technologies, especially electronic
transactions carried out using the internet”;
- “Doing business in markets based on the internet and / or the world wide web”;
- “Digital marketplaces that facilitate the trading of goods and services through online
e-commerce”;
- “An economy capable of providing high-quality ict infrastructure and mobilizing ict
capabilities for the benefit of consumers, business and the state”;
- “A global network of economic and social activities supported by platforms such as
the internet and mobile and sensor networks”;
- "Production of digital equipment, publishing, media production and programming."
As can be seen from the above examples, ideas about the digital economy range from
very narrow to extremely broad.
In a narrow sense, the digital economy is presented as a kind of commercial activity
for the production and sale of electronic goods and services. Accordingly, it includes,
firstly, electronic commerce, electronic banking and electronic money. Secondly,
services for the provision of online services; information sites that earn on advertising;
Internet media (sound recording, cinema, press, publishing); creation of
entertainment and business software. Thirdly, the production of appropriate
equipment and other supporting activities. This is how the digital economy appears
from the definitions adopted in the UK.
The definition of the World Bank, on the contrary, gives a too broad, in our opinion,
vision of the digital economy. It is possible that in this case it is more correct to talk
about the development of the digitalization process (digitalization or digitalization,
depending on the translation) or the digital transformation of society. After all, new
ICTs are penetrating all public spheres, and the ongoing changes are in many ways
similar to the transformations that took place at the beginning of the ХХ century in
connection with the process of electrification.
At the same time, we can talk about two parallel (albeit interconnected) directions of
transformation. The first is more social and is expressed in the formation of a new
social environment through the development of new ways of communication and
constructions of the virtual world - the so-called Internet of people (IoP - Internet of
people). This process includes digitalization of scientific and cultural heritage
(creation of electronic libraries, museums and publications); holding public events
