The Information Age, also known as the Digital/Tech Revolution is the third major revolution in the history of human civilization. This period in history is filled with modern technology that has advanced humanity in some form through a new-found ease in information sharing. Whether it’s through computers, cell phones, cable, digital photography, or another form of technology this season of time is continuing to have a major impact on the way individuals share with one another. The different aspects that make up this current period of time are quite extensive. From what influenced the creation of this revolution to what has been affected by the Information Age are all important in understanding what the Digital/Tech Revolution is.

With the advent of information technology, the ways different aspects of life work and operate have changed a great deal. Media has always had a great influence in molding the culture of a society. There was a point of time when television and radio were invented and when computer was invented and there was little connection between the two. Time then travelled fast then through the age of cassettes, records, VCDs, DVDs, flash drive and then the internet. Media also started to go satellite on a massive scale and there came a point of time when media and digital communication systems became closely integrated with one another, opening the dimensions to digital media.

Our world gets more digital every day. Nearly everyone has a smartphone and a computer. Even more people have a TV and if people do they are in contact with the digital world everyday.

The media post news stories daily about ways to loose weight, ways to be more energized, and many other stories that claim doing something will lead to an outcome everyone wants. However, the media often times takes scientific studies, and post what they want the viewers to believe out of the study. Sometimes the media is correct and other times they have completely turned the studies around. When looking at a media claim the actually study is usually mentioned but not shown. If viewers wanted, they could look up the original study to compare if it is true with the claim or not. This paper will address three media studies that are compared with their original study to see if the media claim is true or falsely advertised.

A Gift of Fire by Sara Baase introduces the evident problems due to changes over time; in this case, the introduction and standardization of cheap yet powerful technology. Chapter 4 shows the benefits and consequences of evolving technology and its effect on copyright issues. Touching on the history of property laws and what’s considered ethical, chapter 4.1 gives insight into factors that content creators, distributors, and buyers alike should all understand. Beginning with the protection of physical content (maps, books, and charts) in the late 18th century to the addition to digital content protection (movies, music, software, interfaces); definitions regarding property has drastically changed in effort to adapt to the efficiency of authoring

1. What struck me most about the astronaut video is the way in which all the speakers agree that they had a type of cosmic, profound experience when seeing earth from the perspective of space. They refer to this as the "overview" effect, where space travelers become aware of earth and its sun as a planet and star among others in space. One person noted that the effect of this, for him, was an emotional, visceral sense of being "one" with everything. Living on earth, it is difficult to achieve this perspective in a truly profound way. I think it must be an awe-inspiring experience to see earth like this, from space, with all its interactive, dynamic systems. It must be far more profound than study could ever make it.

Identify some elements of the media text that are operating as signifiers and what their signifieds are.

These days all of us spend a lot of time looking at all kinds of screens. We spend far more time with media technology than any other thing in our life.

When I was younger, I never really liked school. It was too long and boring for my liking. When I came to the middle school, that all changed. I took the media class and soon I wanted to come to school more just to go to that class. I was interested in technology and media is very entertaining. Kids in school like media class because you get to interview people, learn about editing, and work with others.

Today's digital technology and the computer have changed how the average consumer can acquire information and entertainment. No longer do we have to wait for the CD to hear a new song, or the release date to watch a movie. The technology is available on our home computers. But is this an infringement on copyright? What about the rights of artists, authors, producers, or actors? Has our technology progressed so far that it infringes on these peoples' livings? It is only a matter of time before laws are passed regarding Internet use. Are we ready to give up the freedom we have had up to this point? In her essay "The Digital Rights War", Pamela Samuelson states that " The new future of technically protected

Frequently, countless discussions on the topic of representation in the media have surged on the internet. Representation stands for a portrayal of countless groups of individuals on the screen. This paper will analyze the effects of the media about representing LGBT characters. Especially, since portrayals of LGBT characters influence society perceptions for the best or worst.

Digital media is becoming powerful in the way grocers are communicating and engaging with consumers today. The use of paper, leaflets, newspapers and posters or it can be known as ‘‘traditional advertising’’ is now being switched to digital media platforms. Millennials are utilising digital platforms such as websites, apps and social networking sites as a new way to advertise (The Voice of Food Retail, 2016). Aldi uses Facebook as a form of promotion for advertisement purposes and to increase their brand awareness by providing incentives likewise inspiring followers to interact with their daily posts (Evonimie, 2015). Another social media platform used by Aldi is Twitter in order to interact with shoppers. By interacting through social media,

Media convergence in the digital era constructs a global ‘flat earth’, allowing for interaction of old and new mediums across various media platforms. Technology has become an increasingly dominant means of communication as it allows for information to be stored and shared across great distances. Flew (2005) suggests that this globalisation permissible through digital and online communication has effected cultural change. Individuals can communicate from any part of the world, irrespective of physical and geographic barriers via an interactive digital media environment across networked ICT Devices. Thus he suggests that new media is synonymous with digital media and therein digitisation – the translation of information into binary code,

An artist's chosen media controls their entire artwork. I feel as though the media are the most important part of a work of art because it can determine how art makes us feel, how we interpret it, and how long it takes to create. With having so many forms of media such as: architecture, paint, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking, an artist has a wide array of directions their artwork can go. Furthermore, I think that when an artist commits to a medium they have already narrowed down the type of art they are going to create and this greatly influences the amount of time their art will take to create. By having such expansive, and various options for media, I feel as though artists truly have all control over the process of designing their art. Some of the aspects of the creative process that are affected by the media are: cost, materials used, color schemes, and textures.
