digital aging

Digital aging refers to the gradual decline in the performance and relevance of digital devices, software, or data over time. As technology advances rapidly, older hardware or software may become outdated, slower, less compatible, or more vulnerable to security risks. This process can affect the efficiency and usability of digital systems, much like biological aging impacts the body. Managing digital aging involves updates, upgrades, and timely replacements to maintain optimal functionality and security, ensuring digital assets remain effective and reliable over their lifecycle.
