All right.
Welcome back.
So in this video we're in to talk about what is digital media?
OK, so digital media, according to Wikipedia, are any media that that are encoded in machine readable
formats.
Digital media can be created, viewed, distributed, modified and preserved on digital electronic devices.
So.
Examples of digital media include software, digital images, digital video, video games, Web pages,
Web sites, social media, digital data databases, digital audio such as and B3 and electronic books
or e-books.
Digital media often contrasts with print media, such as printed books, newspapers and magazines and
other traditional or analog media, such as photographic film audiotapes or videotapes.
The digital media has had significant, broad and complex impact on society and culture, combined with
the Internet and personal computing.
Digital media has caused disruptive innovation in publishing, journalism, public relations, entertainment,
education, commerce and politics.
Digital media has also poised new challenges to copyright and intellectual property laws, fostering
an open content movement in which content creators voluntarily give up some of some or all the legal
rights to their work.
Digital media and its effects on social society suggest that we are at the start of a new era and industrial
history called the information age, perhaps leading to a paperless society in which all media are produced
and consumed in computers.
However, challenges to a digital transition remain, including outdated copyright laws, censorship,
the digital divide and this back spectra of digital dark age in which older media becomes inaccessible
to a new or upgraded information systems.
Digital media has significant, wide ranging and complex impact on society and culture.
Okay, so that's according to Wikipedia now digital media.
Really started.
In the late 90s, when this really was getting pushed to the forefront.
Ten years after that, when Steve Jobs and Apple came out with the iPod and then the iPhone is really
when the information age, quote unquote, started, because before that, you really didn't have anywhere
to put anything.
And the speeds were not to where they needed to be.
But the reason why we're learning about digital media is in this course, we're going to do two digital
media projects and then we're also going to do to print media projects.
So I want you to understand the background of the two different media types and why they're important
and why they're still being used to this day.
So thank you so much for watching and I'll see in the next video.
