2. Television as Digital Media, edited by James Bennett and Niki Strange

Introduction – James Bennett

“In December 2007 the BBC launched its online streaming and download service, the iPlayer. By the end of 2009, over 729 million requests to view programs had been made via the service.

“Similarly, in the United States services like Hulu present television along with film under the simple banner, “Watch your favourites. Any time. For free.”

The iPlayer and Hulu provide an experience that promises the freedom to decide what to watch and when to watch it and, in so doing, fragment the previously mass audience of television into a series of personalized choices.

From reading ‘New Media: A Critical Introduction’ – second edition – by Martin Lister, Jon Dovey, Seth Giddings, Iain Grant & Kieran Kelly.

Page 18 – “In a digital media process the physical properties of the input data, light and soundwaves are not converted into another object but into numbers; that is, into abstract symbols rather than analogous objects and physicals surfaces. Hence, media processs are brought into the symbolic realm of mathematics rather than physics or chesmistry.
