capital use, greater competition, and promote
financial inclusion. However, too much reliance on
technology can lead us to a digital dystopia making
an entire generation of youth slaves to technology
and creating societal problems as well as personal
disorder. Can the digital economy deliver on its
promise? Or it is another peril of innovation
dystopia ?   topics.
