What is Digital Technology? Understanding Digital Media
1. What is digital technology?
• Digital media is a form of electronic media where data are
stored in digital (as opposed to analog) form. It can refer to
the technical aspect of storage and transmission (e.g. hard
disk drives or computer networking) of information or to
the "end product”, such as digital video, augmented reality,
digital signage, or digital art.
• Florida's digital media industry association, Digital Media
Alliance Florida, defines digital media as "the creative
convergence of digital arts, science, technology and
business for human expression, communication, social
interaction and education".
• There is a rich history of digital media, computers, and their
rise to prominence over the last couple decades.
