CCA1108 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Nicholas Negroponte, Technological Convergence
Living Digital
Binary: a single ‘bit’ can only represent 2 values. (1 or 0)
2 bits = 4 values (10 00 11 01)
4 bits = 16 values (0000 1111 1100 0011 1010 0101...etc)
Digital convergence:
publishing
telecoms
computing
entertaining
the next gen:
it mindset
intolerance for delay
social/informational connectedness
group over individual work
multitasking
Nicholas Negroponte – “comingling of bits”
any info can be stored as binary data allowing it to be, accessible, connectible,
repurposeable.
good digital media:
accessible
meets target audience needs
enhances experimental value of traditional media
cost effective
ANALOG VS DIGITAL:
analog world= media content in the real world is analog. Quantities in a continuous domain.
Infinite range of values.
digital world= values are based on discrete entities. Operates on single ‘bits’
