It strikes me that maybe some people may be missing Mr. Johnson’s cultural reference, which is quite apt.

The revolution will be digitized.

…is a riff on Gil Scot Heron’s The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

A short sample:

The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.
