As a result, many individuals with non-digital jobs are losing their jobs at an alarming rate as they are replaced by technology. As a practical matter, we must be able to balance our technical capabilities in order for them to survive in the future. On the other hand, this quick development has both a positive and a negative impact on us. It has a beneficial impact on us, but it also has a detrimental impact on us. Hence , the author is interested in discussing and conducting research on "The Reality of Digital Society in the 21 st Century" which is the topic of this article. Keywords: Reality, Public Causing, Digital Era, 21st Century 1. INTRODUCTION People already believe that digital technology has become a part of everyday life, despite the fact that we know that digital technology will undoubtedly develop from time to time, particularly if we look at the twenty-first century (Falah, 2019), If in 2001 people who spoke to themselves were considered insane by the community, but in 2022 people no longer hold that opinion because technological developments are changing people's perceptions of it so rapidly (Hasibi et al., 2020), one example is when someone is talking to himself, it could be that someone is calling or making a video documentation. Digital technology is a type of technology in which the operating system is run automatically through the use of a computer-based system (Kaunang et al., 2021). As a result of this understanding, we can see that digital technology is a technology that can run automatically, and that we can put it up simply by employing a comprehensive system to accomplish this. Most human work can now be done automatically in the twenty-first century, which used to be a difficult task for film crews that wanted to present footage shot from the sky, but today anyone can easily take any video from above the clouds thanks to the development of drone technology. The fact that human work may be replaced by technology at some point in the future must be accepted and kept up with by those who live in the twenty-first century. Even if human work is replaced by technology in the future, will job prospects be reduced or even increased? Because, in reality, society in the twenty-first century is increasingly reliant on technology, both in a beneficial and detrimental manner. The authors are interested in undertaking research under the heading "The Reality of Digital Society in the 21 st Century" as a result of the information presented above.
