The potential challenges that the information economy produces include:
-
Increased competition - The rise of digital platforms and online businesses has led to greater competition, making it challenging for smaller companies to survive against larger tech firms.
-
Data privacy - As more personal information is collected, stored, and analyzed, concerns regarding data privacy and security have intensified, raising ethical and legal questions.
While climate change and the spread of disease can be influenced by various economic factors, they are not inherently challenges of the information economy itself.
