We are living in the modern era and in the midst of technology upgradation where knowledge plays a vital role.  As modern people, we are in the development and transformation of social-economic processes and the digital technology that ensures not only positive effects but also supposed to increase the quality of human life.

Digitalization, a new step, a new level of technological progress is supposed to be aimed at increasing the quality of life.  It is not just an instrument but a status that impetus of a modifying factor changing social life in its every sphere. The implementation of digital technologies in human life, act as a catalyst for the information society development. 

The era of digitalization transforms. The interaction and exchange of communication have reached certain levels where:

• The way people interact with the world around
• Changes the internal world
• Attitude to the world, to oneself, and to what it means to be us [human]
• The information and communication technologies have an ever-increasing influence on :
• Human self-esteem
• Mutual actions
• Socialization
• Concept of reality and its perception as well as
• Interaction with reality

Perceptibly, in the modern world, digitalization acts as one of the key determinants of human development, which can be based on the perception of subjective as well objective indicators of the quality of life.

Driven by the digital revolution it extends human development opportunities, the increased value of time, opportunities for creativeness and self-development, implies economic growth & welfare measure and the improvement of the well-being of the country.

Digitalization brings back the quality of life.  The pertinent question is how we can achieve quality of life.  It is determined by --- the ability to build up social capital, achieve professional goals, receive a quality education, and develop interpersonal relationships and connections.

As we say digitalization, which means access to information.  It is undoubtedly impacts human life by saving time, spreading knowledge, increasing the availability of communication, enhancing network interactions, improving transparency and governance, creating social capital, and empowering people.

There are some risks involved in it.  The emergence of a new digital segment there will be :

• Multiplies theft of personal data
• Financial resources
• Databases, and
• Other cyber risks

It is important that old people must be included in the digitalization process because, with the accelerated pace of the digitalization of services, in particular, these people may face feelings of anxiety and undermines their well-being.  The transition may hamper the digital environment due to the lack of skills of older people for ineffective participation thus result in a decrease in their social networks and contacts.

There is a lively example.  In particular, in the COVID-19 pandemic, the old people are staying away from using digital communications at a time when the use of such communication is especially important.

It is the growth of the internet and social media.  The usage of social media to form and expand meaningful social connections has a positive effect on the well-being of users and if user behaviour is not aimed at establishing social connections, then social networks can negatively affect the well-being of users.

In general, it aims to design and test appropriate tools for managing digitalization to direct this process on increasing the quality of life.  For this purpose, it has been analyzed mainly on [1] correlation to identify interrelations between digitalization and quality of life and [2] the potential of using the visualization matrix method to identify and monitor national trends of digitalization in the context of quality of life. 

The main crux of digitalization is social progress and increasing quality of life.  It also added further development of both concepts of the quality of life and approach for the assessment of the quality of life, digitalization, and technological progress.

Furthermore, the impact of digitalization on well-being is increasingly dependent on how we use digital tools, and in some cases, we should comprehend our limitations on their use.  In recent research, it is marked that digitalization does not turn the state into a country of prosperity.

Digitalization in the modern social context allows the possibilities for improving the quality of life in all spheres of human life, and as an environment that forms new realities and a qualitatively new potential for applying management decisions for the benefit of people.

However, it also contributes to increasing national wealth only if the country has an adequate education system, good governance, and a philanthropic financial system.
