What is digital media

Media are tools we use to communicate
“Media" is for communicating with more than just one
person. Traditional examples include:
• Books
• Magazines
• Newspapers
• Film
• Radio
• Television
Defining digital media

Digital relates to the use of computers
• Digital is a technical definition and relates to the
use of computers – with their "binary" language of
on/off, 1/zero, bits and bytes
• This is the digital world and includes computers, the
software to run them, and the movement and
storage of digital information via networks and
storage (hard drives and cloud services)

Digital media is two important elements together
that have been made possible by the combination of
computers, software, and networks to form:
Interactivity
Group forming

Interactivity made possible
• Most computer networks are bi-directional and
addressable
• You can specify where your message is to go, and
get a return message right away
• This is a feature that is built into the telephone, but
most mass media are one-way, or broadcast, media.
• They are engineered to deliver the same message
to many people at once, but they don’t provide for
any return messages

Digital media networks are different
You can still send the same message to many people
(e.g., Netflix, or streaming radio, or just a simple web
page), but you can also have interaction ranging from
minor elements (choosing shows and rating them on
Netflix) to major components (posting pictures and
comments on other peoples’ photos on Flickr)

Digital Media is based on software
• The people participating in the network can organize
themselves into ad-hoc and arbitrary groups.
• This is most obviously seen in Facebook, where you can
instantly and easily create a new group around any sort
of topic
• These "group forming" networks have enormous value
since they help us coordinate, communicate, and
collaborate on projects large and small – from parties to
promotion of brands

• The most important parts of digital media are not
simply the conversion of regular media to digital
formats
• It is about unleashing tremendous value for society
– taking advantage of these new capabilities
relating to interactivity and group forming
Benefits of digital media
