In London 1948, the Olympic Games were available to millions of viewers on television for the first time. More recently at the Atlanta 1996 Games, it was possible for the first time to watch the Olympic Games online over the Internet.

Nowadays, with a new wave of global digital transformation, the Olympic Games once again look to the possibilities of the latest technologies today.

We are not living alone on an island; we are living in the midst of a modern, diverse, and digital society.” The future of the Olympic Games is at a turning point of reform and transformation.
