It can refer to the technical aspect of storage and transmission or information or to the end product, such as digital video, augmented reality, digital signage, digital audio, or digital art. Florida s digital media industry association, Digital Media Alliance Florida, defines digital media as the creative convergence of digital arts, science, technology, and business for human expression, communication, social interaction, and education.
