The digital era is a period in which digital technology plays an important role in shaping and regulating behavior, performance, society, communities, organizations and individuals (Liyanage, 2012). Society needs skills adapted to the digital world, including technical and social skills, as well as digital literacy (OECD, 2019). These technological advances accelerate us towards a more comprehensive transformation towards a network society and create opportunities/challenges for prosperity.
