electronify - introduction

One of the driving forces behind the shift to the Information Age is the shift from mechanical to electric technology.
The shift from a watch with cogs and moving parts to digital watches with only electronic components is a good example.
Electronic technology is an extension of the ‘electric’ and I have created the term ‘electronify’ to describe the action of converting items that were previously mechanical into new ‘electronic’ forms.
For example, the motor car is becoming ‘electronified’ as shown in the cost to produce a motor car which is now more in terms of the electronic components than the cost of the steel.
General examples of ‘electronify’ are often expressed by the letter ‘e’ displayed before a more familiar term (thus our symbol). For example, e-commerce means ‘not normal commerce’, but ‘electronic commerce.’ Other examples include: e-books, e-cash and e-tickets.
