more than the digital economy:
• it is now about a digital society– This is transformative technology. – It is not some passing fad. – And, we are still in early days.
• The issues can no longer be left to technological experts and specialists: – digital now underlies how we create,
communicate and store information in all media
2010 Canada 3.0 Consensus
2010 Consensus• widely shared perception that Canada is falling behind globally• To succeed, an unprecedented level of collaboration is essential across all
sectors of society• The focus has shifted from the digital tool makers to the digital tool users.• The emerging foundation of the digital era is not digital media (the
technology) but rather connectivity (the social and cultural outcome of the new technology).
• Canada faces formidable international competition – rise to the challenges of a fast-changing, intense global environment.
• Canada does not have the luxury of time – in developing comprehensive, collaborative and integrated approaches
to education and training, business development, infrastructure provision and policy-making.
