Digital content is any type of
content that exists in the form of
digital data. Also known as 110111100
digital media, digital content is stored on either digital or analog
storage in specific
formats. Forms of digital content include
information that is
digitally broadcast,
streamed or contained in
computer files. Viewed narrowly, types of digital content include popular
media types, while a broader approach considers any type of digital information (e. g. digitally updated
weather forecast,
GPS map and so on) as digital content. Digital content has seen an increase as more households now have access to the Internet. Therefore, it is easier for people to receive their news and watch TV online, rather than from traditional platforms. Because of this increased access to the
Internet, digital content is commonly published through individuals in the form of ebooks, blog posts, and even Facebook posts.
