Digital Social Life vs Online Social Life

Digital and online social life are nearly identical terms that mean much the same thing. All online social interactions are digital. However, not all digital interactions are online. For example, a digital immersive experience at a museum or theme park that takes place in one physical location.

Discussion

Digital interactions were fairly rare before the commercialization of the internet beginning in the mid-1990s but have grown at an incredible rate to become commonplace today. It is likely that most future social interactions will be digital as virtual environments improve far faster than real world environments.
