Abstrak
Transformasi sosial di masa kini adalah fenomena yang terjadi di seluruh dunia, dengan perubahan besar dalam cara masyarakat berstruktur, berpikir, dan berinteraksi. Perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi menjadi penyebab utama perubahan ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati proses dan dampak dari transformasi sosial digital terhadap cara berkomunikasi, pembentukan identitas di dunia maya, serta masalah keterampilan dan etika dalam penggunaan internet. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi literatur, yaitu menganalisis buku, jurnal, dan laporan organisasi internasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teknologi digital telah menciptakan masyarakat yang saling terhubung (network society), di mana hubungan sosial tidak hanya terbatas di dalam ruang fisik, tetapi diperlebar melalui media sosial dan platform online. Selain itu, gagasan desa global menunjukkan bahwa manusia dapat terhubung tanpa batas waktu dan jarak. Identitas digital menjadi ruang baru untuk mengekspresikan diri, yang memengaruhi cara hidup dan interaksi sosial. Literasi digital mempunyai dampak besar terhadap kehidupan sosial: di satu sisi, ia membantu meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis, akses informasi, dan partisipasi masyarakat; di sisi lain, ia juga bisa menyebabkan penyebaran informasi yang tidak benar, ketimpangan akses internet, dan penurunan etika dalam berkomunikasi. Karena itu, meningkatkan literasi dan etika digital menjadi hal penting untuk menciptakan transformasi sosial yang lebih adil, inklusif, dan berkelanjutan di tengah era digital.

Abstract
Social transformation in the present era is a global phenomenon marked by significant changes in the way societies are structured, think, and interact. The development of information and communication technology is the main driver of these changes. This study aims to examine the process and impact of digital social transformation on communication patterns, the formation of online identities, as well as issues related to skills and ethics in internet use. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, analyzing books, journals, and reports from international organizations. The findings reveal that digital technology has created a connected society (network society), where social relationships are no longer confined to physical spaces but expanded through social media and online platforms. Furthermore, the concept of the global village illustrates that humans can connect without the limitations of time and space. Digital identity has become a new space for self-expression, influencing lifestyles and social interactions. Digital literacy has a significant impact on social life: on one hand, it enhances critical thinking skills, access to information, and civic participation; on the other hand, it may lead to the spread of misinformation, unequal internet access, and declining communication ethics. Therefore, improving digital literacy and ethics is essential to create a more just, inclusive, and sustainable social transformation in the digital era.
