Analog tech - info translated into electric impulses. Can lead to these tech becoming collectibles. Tech have evolved with digital counterparts - eg. camera. Audio, video etc data is represented by 1s and 0s. Simpler to convert between transmission formats (eg. digital to digital is easier than. Possibility of perfect copies - quality is not lost in translation analog to digital) + storage formats. Obsolescence (can no longer access older media because of the speed of tech. Collections of bits represent continuous sensory info like colour. One byte (unit of info used in computing) = 8 bits. With each bit we add, the number of possibilities doubles. # of possibilities is 2 to the power of the number of bits. Tried to deliver immersive experiences through the metaphor of other objects. Windows: convention stemming from personal computers, challenges idea of focusing on one screen - windows allows user to focus attention on several images at once.
