It the year 2010 and everything is changing! The technology is becoming more advanced. The media we use to know is now all digital. Digital media made a huge impact on the users. The way, we the audience, use to listen to music or watch movies has changes, but in a good way. The digital media has allowed for better sound and color.
Digital media has been a big impact on many medias; it has changed the way we do certain things. There are many “old” medias that have had to adapt to change. One of these medias are books. Books are interesting, but not many people have time to read a book; people are always on the go. Also, a book it pretty big to carry around. Since books were dying, the tech people came out with new devices; these devices allow book to be copied; the books are made into e-books (electronic books); it makes it easier to read anywhere at anytime.
Some devices made were the kindle, the Sony reader, the iPod touch, and the iPad; each of these devices can allow you to read the book. The iPod touch and Ipad allow you to buy the book right off of itunes; this process makes it easier; people really don’t have to go to a book store and spend money on books, which will just take up space.
Another old media turn digital was film. Film shouldn’t be really called film anymore, since movies are all digital now.

Digital movies have changed the way movies are seen; it has made a significant change in the movie business. Since movies are digital, you don’t need to buy a hard copy anymore. 
Movies can be streamed to the television or the computer. There are websites that allow you to stream videos, like Netflix; Netflix allows you to watch videos online or stream them to your television for a small fee. The only problem is, movies that can be streamed off the computer hurts business and sales; this problem can be partially solve because, the owners of the digital movies can put a time stamp on the movies; this meaning when the website can actually have the right to air a movie; this helps the sales for movies increase.
The last old media that has turn digital is newspapers. Newspapers are read by very few people. The newspaper companies don’t really sell that many copies of the paper.
Since the change to digital, all the news can be found online.
Since wi-fi was introduced, people use their devices, like the iPod touch, to click and be able to read the paper online. People don’t have to be hassled by having to carry around the newspaper. The newspaper companies knew they weren’t going to last forever. When the internet came out, newspapers lost a lot of business. Now with everything being digitized, it makes it easier for people to read the paper on basically any technological devices.
In this new digital era, some media will last and others will go. I think that the radio will soon die out; the radio has been already dying even before the switch to digital; I personally don’t think just because it sounds better, makes it any better. The radio was dying before and will not last through the digital era.
I do believe that books will be a huge hit through the digital era. Books were becoming a bother to many people. People would have to go to the library or the book store to buy a book. Then the book would take up space. Now, with books being digitized, there so many ways to read. People can use a certain device to read them.
People are becoming well adapted to the digital media. It is making life simpler. We are able to read, listen to music, and watch a movie or television show, without having to be in a specific area. The digital era is allowing people to be on the move, but enjoy sitting on the train.
