Digital media refers to any media that are encoded in a machine-readable format.^[1] Digital media can be composed, read, distributed, preserved, and modified on computers or other electronic devices. Combined with the rise of the Internet and the World Wide Web, as well as the spread of personal computers, digital media has caused massive disruption in publishing, journalism, entertainment, education, politics and commerce. Digital media has also posed new challenges to copyright and intellectual property laws. Digital media is frequently contrasted with analog, traditional, or print media, such as printed books and periodicals. The spread of digital media has fostered the concept of a paperless society in which all media is consumed and produced on computers.
