It is easy to comprehend the connection between the two elements and the name of each historical time while human beings travel through different historical eras. Man has been through the Paleolithic, the Iron, the Bronze, as well as the Communication eras, up to the Digital and Information era. Each age has seen the development of new tools by human to advance their way of life and alter how they interact with the environment.
With the development of digital technology, humans have entered a new age in this historical trajectory that, like other eras, is expected to have an impact on how people interact with environment and then how they live on earth. As a result, the development of a smart city—which is only conceivable thanks to the invention of digital tools—marks a new civilisational milestone in the course of human history.
