Digital media refers to any media that has been converted from analog waves to digital codes and numbers. It includes devices like digital TVs, DVDs, phones, and mp3 players. Digital media represents audio and video as binary digits (1s and 0s) instead of electronic pulses like analog media. Some advantages are lower production costs, ease of transmission, higher quality copies, and easier editing. However, digital media also makes it simpler to steal and pirate content as well as potentially lose data. The future may see more automation replacing human jobs and digital content becoming less personally owned.
