The internet-based physical and digital ensemble, including the Internet of things, today can enable us to obtain the required measurements,
for example, can be a powerful motivator, especially for a younger, internet savvy audience. The broad range of computer games and apps that appeal to the users of internet devices are a valuable resource for understanding
what motivates a large segment of the population. Social media channels and blogs are also very powerful tools for engaging communities of interest over a longer period of time,
whether the community of interest being addressed is, on average, internet savvy or not. How familiar people are with technologies must be considered in designing engagement strategies and the participatory working dynamics.

if you do not have an Internet presence, you do not exist at all. For museums, this entails digitisation in every function.
During the second stage of digitisation, in the early 2000s, museums began to implement collection management systems that made material accessible to the audience via the Internet.
