Being Digital

“The best way to appreciete the metris and consequences of being digital is to reflect on the diffrence between bits and atoms” (p:11)says Negroponte. A bit is the smallest part of the information and composed of 0 and 1. To digitize any information it needs to be writen in 1 and 0.

Being digital means you can deliver a signal without any sound of hiss or television snow. So those kinds of errors are eleminated by being digital. If all media is digitalized then all bits will be mixed such as multimedia. And also a new kind of bit will be born which will inform us about other bits.

Thre is a consept like bandwidth which means the capacity to move down the information in a given channel. The copper, the fiber and the wave are the most important medium to transmit the information. The copper has a low bandwidth when we compare with fiber. The capacity of fiber is infinite. The wave (ether), is assumed as infinite however we all know that with cordless telephones many problems occures.

The adventage of the fiber is; it is easy to make the maintenance and such reasons.The only adventage of the copper is seen while delivering power. For example telephone companies are proud of not to be cut the telephone lines while an

“Once we stop thinking of TV’s future as only high definition and begin to build it in its most general form, b,t radiation, Tv becomes a totally diffrent medium. Digital copying made copying much more easily than ever. There will be very less real time broadcasting in future television. These rules are for preventing the monopoly. You are selling bits and people are willing to by them. Also it would be a nice world to live with these communicative machines, we will not lose time for getting the information which we want, and we will not lose more energy to do what we want. Black and white went and color came.

The recent years there is so often communication between machines but these will be different in future. The first choice you have is to go and by a newspaper and carry it whole they or recycle it after finishing reading it or receive all the news to your notebook by bits. On occasion, I really do want to be in a society of one.

While this design has been conceived to pass your voice and a picture of your face to a remote and similar machine, it could serve handsomely as a direct feed into your computer - not a teleconference but a local conference with your machine.

In addition to these, while children are playing with Internet they learn more easily than any school project or homework. It is a “vast point to vast point” system. The information age, the age of computers, showed us the same economies of scale, but with less regard for space and time.
