Digital media

 Digital media:

Any communication tool that uses one of several encoded, machine-readable data formats is considered digital media. On a digital electronic device, digital media can be produced, viewed, shared, altered, listened to, and archived. Digital data is any information that can be represented by a series of digits, and media refers to the transmission or communication techniques for this data. All forms of digitised information that are transmitted through speakers and/or screens are collectively referred to as "digital media." This also covers any text, music, video, or graphics that are sent across the internet to be viewed or heard there.

Examples

Examples of digital media include software, digital images, digital video, video games, web pages and websites, social media, digital data and databases, digital audio such as MP3, electronic documents and electronic 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, audio tapes or video tapes.

History

Charles Babbage developed the first machine-readable codes and information in the early 1800s. Babbage believed that these codes would provide him with instructions for his Analytical Engine and Motor of Difference, two devices he had created to address the issue of computation error. Ada Lovelace, a mathematician, created the first instructions for using Babbage engines to calculate numbers between 1822 and 1823. Today, it is thought that Lovelace's instructions were the first computer programme. Despite the fact that the machines were built to do analytical tasks, Lovelace foresaw the potential societal effects that computers and programming would have. Because the distribution and combination of facts and analytical formulas may be made simpler and quicker by subjecting them to the mechanical combinations of the engine, relationships, and nature
