  • Question 7
    1 / -0.25
    New media couldn’t exist without the move from_______________
    Solution

    The correct answer is Analog to digital technology

    Key Points

    • New media, as we are discussing here, couldn’t exist without the move from analog to digital technology.
    • All the types of new media are digitally based.
    • Analog media are created by encoding information onto a physical object that must then be paired with another device capable of reading that specific code.
    • Digital media are composed of and/or are designed to read numerical codes (hence the root word digit).
    • The most commonly used system of numbers is binary code, which converts information into a series of 0s and 1s.
    • This shared code system means that any machine that can decode (read) binary code can make sense of, store, and replay the information.
    • The physical nature of analog media and the requirement that it be paired with a particular decoding device set it apart from digital media the most.
    • In terms of physicality, analog media are a combination of mechanical and physical parts, while digital media can be completely electronic and have no physicality.
    • We may look to predigital music and how various analog music genres had to be linked with a specialized decoding apparatus to understand the second difference between analog and digital media.
    • In the days of analog recording, grooves were cut into vinyl to create records, or electromagnetic alterations were applied to ribbon or tape to create cassette tapes.
    • In order to decode and listen to the music, each of these physical artifacts must be coupled with a certain gadget, such as a record player or a cassette deck.
    • New media changed how we collect and listen to music.
    • Now music files are stored electronically and can be played on many different platforms, including iPods, computers, and smartphones.

    • However, ENIAC's utilization of electronic rather than mechanical components as the foundation for its operation made it so clever.
    • It had a speed on the order of one thousand times faster than that of electro-mechanical machines.
    • Both scientists and business people were attracted by this processing power's combination with general-purpose programmability.
    • The combination of speed and programmability allowed for thousands more calculations for problems. 
    • As ENIAC calculated a trajectory in 30 seconds that took a human 20 hours, one ENIAC could replace 2,400 humans.
