No, we don't NEED to digitalize society. We could due with less digital things for the betterment of society.

  To achieve such result you need to digitalize for real. Here in the EU the current state of things is crappy because most do not want digitization and that's so happen driven by few interested parties. So instead of having a smart card per document we have a complicated three-level system handed to the private sector, we have not much coherent digital invoices, an economist have even suggested to create "a virtual State to simplify things", we have certified mails in some countries so badly designed you can't keep then for sure for 10+ year and so on. If people instead of pretend to stop the history train embrace it and impose a certain conduit we could have much better things with much less complicates crappy bureaucratic choices for the sake of few against the other. Try to keep parts of a paper-based world in a bit-based society we already are, it just trying to be Luddites ending as the original ones... A small example: we end up in de facto mandatory smartphones for all simply because only very few have battled to have smart-cards and some are interested in imposing macro-bugs to the whole population. The whole population have tried to ignore the evolution, keeping the paper and they end up with a (cr)app instead of a good smart card.
