What Digital Media really is.

Digital Media is any form of electronic information distributed to the world. That would include almost anything done on a computer such as, art, pictures, videos, websites, music and games.  Although in my opinion, I would further define Digital Media as multimedia made on computers with no outside sources (Cameras), where any and all images are created with graphics programs on a computer.  And, of course, Video Games are the best Digital Media :)

Digital Photography- Any picture that has been taken with a Digital camera in Phone, Camera, Laptop, etc.

Computer Image Creation- Using a program to create pictures FROM the computer, forming images or ‘graphics’.

Interactive Multimedia- Examples are; The Internet, Websites, CD’s, and similar forms of media.

Digital Sound Technology- Digital Voice Recording or voice recognition systems such as ‘Dragon Speech’, a program that will recognize your speech, and type out what you say.
