Introduction
The evolution of the Internet has changed the world in many
ways. Physical (traditional) operations and daily interactions have
over time been supplemented, overshadowed or totally supplanted by
online versions riding on the back of developments in information
and communication technology (ICT), and consequent migration into
cyberspace. ICT has become, within a very short time, one of the
basic building blocks of modern society, forcing and creating a
culture of dependence on innovative technology.
1 The Fourth
Industrial Revolution (4IR) is characterised by a fusion of
technologies and they have blurred the lines between the physical,
digital, and biological spheres.
