We are now living in a digital era. Everything that we do — from hailing a taxi to shopping for clothes — has been transformed in the last 10 years and is still evolving. Traditional ways and means of doing things are now becoming more digital and automated. Technology companies like Google, Uber, Airbnb, Amazon and PayPal are disrupting different industries around the world to bring solutions that no other company has ever brought to the table before. Gone are the days when hundreds of people would go to the streets hailing a taxi under the heat of the sun; it is now possible to get a ride on your phone. No driver has to use a physical map and compass anymore now that Waze is changing the way we navigate places.
