Binary Building Blocks

Paul Ceruzzi (2012), author of Computing: A Concise History, described the concept of convergence as the digital merging of devices, machines and communication techniques. In order to understand convergence, it’s crucial to understand that digital media exists thanks to the binary language that has allowed us to deduceall digital content into the same form: binary. Binary allows for more efficent storage of information that can beedited and is easily shared more rapidly.

For the purposes of becoming digital media professionals, it’s less important to learn the mathematics of binary,but instead understand the application of binary digits in technology. All information in a computer is stored and transmitted using binary (Introducing Binary, 2017). Binary deduces information down to a collection of 1’s and 0’s.Computers are programmed using this language and designed to understand instructions written in binary. You can think of every action taken on a computer as resulting from a set of binary instructions that were programmed into the computer. Anything that you read or engage with online is information that is transmitted through 1’s and 0’s.

Daily Convergence

N Y!

Smart phones are the iconic example of mediaconvergence. They combine the technologiesof a telephone, digital camera, and a computerall under one processing system.

The latest trend in video is the mash-up. Mash-ups leverage the easy editingaffordances of convergence by taking exsiting videosand combining them tocreate new meaning. Ex: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=f5mJE7zIPUY

Streaming videos was madepossible by the digitization of analog VHS tapes. Netflix utilizes the storage affordancesof convergence to create a long-tail business model. The digital space is a profitablemodel because it cuts theoverhead costs that brick andmortar stores require.

The Yahoo news aggregatorutilizes the ease of transferringdigital information to pull together news from a varietyof news organizations. This allows the news aggregator to benefit from advertising revenue without having to cover the cost of creating thecontent.
