CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY

Digitization
Information technology makes it possible to digitize information. Whether text, images, sound or large data streams, digitization has allowed us to effectively create a worldwide "language" with which to communicate. Virtually everything can be translated into a common currency of bits and bytes.

Digital content carried over high-speed networks makes the once improbable entirely possible.
