Digital quality: from necessity to opportunity

Abstract

The article substantiates the systemic quality of digital society as an internal need for digital equality. The basis of the proof is the analysis of new properties of modern information: accessibility (spatial distribution and affordability) and dynamism (increase of its quantity and quality). It is shown that systematic quality is implemented through the production-technical and institutional-economic relations of the digital society thanks to the technologies of the second wave of the digital revolution: open information systems, a comprehensive Internet and big data, cloud technologies and social networks. The article presents the mechanisms changing under the influence of the system quality of the digital society: ensuring management at all levels, forming an optimal sectoral structure, identifying new sources of economic growth, changing the role of an individual in solving the problem of social development. The article summarizes that models, tasks and forms of realization of modern digital policy depend on the degree of implementation of the system quality, i.e. equality.
