Digital Media in the Past and Present

Past and present digital media and digital media in today's world are everywhere, television, newspaper, advertisement, magazine. Almost anywhere, you will find some sort of digital technology. Digital technology was born from the beginning. Computers were invented long ago, but digital technology began to shine until the early 1980s. Originally, NASA developed digital image processing for US space program in the 1960's (History of Digital Cameras, 2001).

Over the past two decades digital media formats have taken over the more traditional forms. However, as most people are accustomed to obtaining rich "free" content on the Internet, monetizing digital content can be difficult. Unfortunately, regardless of whether the media outlets are physically issued or digitally issued, there are still many costs associated with content creation. There may not be printers or distribution drivers, but the costs associated with running and optimizing the digital content delivery system will be higher

New media technology is the application of digital (computer) technology in the production, distribution, storage and use of mass media, especially media. Digital technology provides bidirectional, nonlinear communication and a new economy in the medium it brings. As technology features were introduced and usage and format changed to accommodate new media, it caused the evolution of traditional media. Since digital technology affects mass media, it also brings cultural influences. New media technology is digital technology used in mass communication. Clearly, the Internet is a new media technology. Satellite and cable data transmission, computer aided research, multimedia publishing, and even word processing are the same. This technology will change the production method, distribution method, display method and storage method of all media. If properly used, digital media can talk with consumers more effectively than traditional media.
