Unit 3 - Awareness of Converging Digital Technology within the Creative Media Sector

Computers are the main type of technology used in the creative media workplace. Every type of person using them from a web developers to graphical designer. Designers may use printers/scanners to print out work projects or insert work/images, web developers would not use printers/scanners on a regular basis. Web developers would usually only use software such as dream weaver and other web software programs. Graphical designers would use printers/scanners they would use photoshop,illustrator to create their work/products. Web designers would also use printers/scanners but will also use photoshop,illustrator, and dreamweaver.  

Copyright is a big issue within the creative a digital media. If you had a design you don't want anyone to 
copy you would copyright it and if a person deciders to copy your design you can take them to court 
because you paid to make sure that your design is protected. File sharing is a legal product because you're
sharing stuff which in a way can help that person your copying from get noticed.

Converging technology is all different formats getting transferred or getting used at the same time e.g. 
video and audio is converging technology because your showing video and you're showing audio.

It has really changed the creative and digital section because people can now put videos/music pictures/text
on their webpage.

Paypal is the main example of a Safeway to buy certain objects online. If you buy a game you 
have to pay commotion to use Paypal which can be extreamly annoying to some customers because they
have to pay extra to use that service. The media can exploit converging technology for example, if someone
catches a celebrity they could video it and send it to the media who will exploit that person in question
which can really affect that celebrity's life but if there wasn't converging technology then their would not
be as much news because there would be no evidence. Youtube is the most popular type of converging
technology online. It was established in 2005 and is widely used around the world by not just public
people also by companies and advertisements as well. It is used on every platform and can be translated
to every language around the world. Youtube you can post video, either with audio or without, and 
people can comment and like video's.
