Digital Media Systems

As part of my digital culture blogs for term 2 I have been discussing how digital media have impacted upon our concepts of the media text. This blog that I am doing now will be somewhat linked to my previous ones in this particular blog I will be making points about and elaborating on how the ways in which digital convergence facilitates a media ecology of connected, threshold elements.

First off I would like to start by explaining exactly what digital convergence refers to and what it means. Digital convergence is the preparation of essential digital technology mechanisms and qualities such as voice, texts, video, pictures, broadcasts, presentation, streaming media, global connectivity and personalized services; the mixture of all of these characteristics and abilities from numerous electronic systems into a easy, converge and computer-mediated communication system to enable individuals interact, play, communicate, collaborate and share information in many new and diverse ways.

Through digital culture you have the ability to connect and put together much narrative text beside images which might be viewed upon as part of the media systems. We are also able to take real life situations and place them in electronic games to make the game seem more humanized and realistic
