The Rise of Digital Media
We are driving intelligent cars, conducting business on our smartphones and

connecting ourselves to the Internet.
Back in the day, we could buy physical items with songs and movies on them that
you put into a machine in order to play them on a television. These items still exists,
but they have become obsolete in the world of digital media.

In the early 2000s, CDs and DVDs were the convenient way to build a collection of
music and films. This has all changed with Mp3 players, online services and catch-
up TV on mobile devices. Everything is mobile these days, not just our music and
movies. Moreover, almost everything can be accessed on a mobile device such as a

smartphone or tablet. We use them for music, videos, web browsing, social media,
cameras, gaming and so on. Developments in mobile technology, through better
displays, processors and other technologies, mean that we can do anything.
Applications really do rule the world. Online shopping and holiday booking have

even shifted from desktops to mobile technology.
