hi and welcome to lesson 7 digital media
now I know in the last series of videos
on information security I said that
those were my favorite well this was
also one of my favorites and one of the
reasons why digital media is one of my
favorite topics is because this is stuff
as a consumer we really need to know
because this is what we're probably
dealing with on a daily basis in our own
personal lives digital media is defined
as any media that are encoded in a
machine-readable format digital media
can be created viewed distributed
modified and preserved on computers the
important points to remember about
digital media is that it's stored on a
computer and because it's stored on a
computer it must be digitized and when
we're talking about media we're talking
about a massive category of things that
can fall in there we're talking about
music we're talking about text we're
talking about images videos animations
we're looking at like I said a massive
category of stuff within the digital
media world once again so we have music
so the music that you listen to if very
few of us now are listening to music on
record so you can still buy the vinyl
but most of us has switched to a digital
format for our audio text with the
advent of e-books and the Kindle and the
Nook we're getting more and more into
the digital world of books we're seeing
more of our content put on books we're
seeing more of our reading material more
of our text put on websites blogs those
things video you're watching video or
right now you're watching digital video
that I am currently recording on my
computer it's becoming digitized that's
going on to the cloud on the Internet
it's going on YouTube and you're
watching it in fact I just completed a
video course this summer and did my
first short we'll talk about that once
we get to the digital video area

pretty cool stuff out there you know
