Individualisation in the digital world

Individualisation is critical for human understanding and information processing. But at least for the moment, it is a matter of debate in the digital world. Although the information platform that is the state also extends into the digital world, in the digital world individuals have been transformed from citizens into users. From this point of view, the equivalent of the digital world today can be found in the colonial era of the analogue world, as it is mostly private actors that are expanding (and giving meaning) to it (see also §07.01.05). Early as it may be in the history of the digital world, however, some preliminary remarks can already be made with regard to names (as individualisation mechanisms).
