		After a simple set-up process, the company boasts, shutterbugs will be able to access the nearest wireless network and send their photos to their local computer-whether it be a PC or Mac-or to an online photo post.
		Digital SLRs are their weapon of choice and they invest heavily in their hobby, buying lenses, peripherals and photo editing software with the hope of turning their advocation into lucre.
		They're older users-over 35-and like the convenience of digital cameras, but usually find a way to have someone else take their pictures for them.

	Electronic School: Digital Learning
		The digital child is the offspring of parents who were not born in a digital world but grew up during the transformation from an analog world to the digital one.
		Digital children learn with and play with people whose age, religion, culture, economic status, and first language are quite different from their own or those of their parents.
		Digital children, as a result, are much more likely than their 20th-century analog counterparts to get what they need or want whenever and wherever they need or want it.

	Escaping The Digital Dark Age
		Due to the relentless obsolescence of digital formats and platforms, along with the ten-year life spans of digital storage media such as magnetic tape and CD-ROMs, there has never been a time of such drastic and irretrievable information loss as right now.
		And translation problems occur in the way different media behave--just as a photograph of a painting is not the same experience as the painting, looking through a screen is not the same as experiencing an immersion medium; watching a game is not the same as playing the game.
		Gradually a set of "best practices" is emerging for ensuring digital continuity: use the most common file formats, avoid compression where possible, keep a log of changes to a file, employ standard metadata, make multiple copies, and so forth.

	Electronic School: Copyright in a Digital Age
		In this age of the Internet, classroom VCRs, and distance education, many teachers and administrators aren't sure what they're allowed to copy and use in their schools and classrooms.
		The recent Digital Millennium Act confirmed many of the rights of authors who have had their works published on the Internet, but introduced some special privileges for libraries and educational institutions.
		The Digital Millennium Act charged the Copyright Office with conducting a distance-learning study and producing a report, with recommendations, to help Congress decide whether the current law met the needs of education or whether modifications needed to be made.

		The boom in the digital imaging market is a clear indicator of our very human need to experience the world visually and to make and sustain connections in that way.
		A variety of folks aged 6 to 60 were given HP digital cameras and they were asked to capture their vision of the heart of New York City.

	The Unreal Person, Portrait in the Digital Age, Irit Krygier
		Finally, the bridge between mechanical and digital technologies and the question of the continued role of the mechanically produced photograph in an age of computer generated images.
		Her patented aging machine, which simulated the process of aging in the human face, not only pioneered the current artistic practice of 'morphing' and computer altered photography, but was also licensed by the FBI.
		She submits a life-size nude portrait created via morphing of a 32.9 year old person who is the sex, age, weight, height, breast size, haircolor, hair length, etc., of the average American as shown in the statistics.

	Public Television Stations in the Digital Age (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Digital television will allow public TV stations to provide even more educational programming than they now offer.
		Digital technology will allow them to transmit programming with higher resolution for dramatically better picture and sound quality than what is available on today’s analog system.
		This is called “multicasting.” Digital technology can also be used to transmit large amounts of data to a viewer’s computer or television set.

		However, the task of moving toward total digital banking is still a big one, even though the cost savings and increased efficiencies are quite evident.
		Digital archiving and digital technologies will reduce labor and mailing costs and will help improve service to banking customers.

	Lawyering in the Digital Age Clinic
		Law is a profession that runs on information, and students who understand how to operate in the information age are in a unique position to develop their talent fully, whether they go on to work in the private, governmental, or public-interest sectors.
		That is why leaders of the bar, judges, and the most prestigious public-interest organizations in New York City turn to students in the Lawyering in the Digital Age Clinic for help with pressing challenges.
		He helped to found the Lawyering in the Digital Age Clinic and has collaborated for many years with Professors Conrad Johnson and Mary Zulack on the development of other efforts to teach lawyering and technology.

	Copyright in the Digital Age, by Karen Coyle
		If that were a digital document, each of these transactions would be a "transmission," and would, by law, be part of the rights of the copyright holder - that is that it wouldn't be legal without payment or the permission of the copyright holder.
		But I get the impression that in digital age, even if libraries had infinite budgets and paid for every patron's use, this guy still wouldn't be happy, because someone is getting something for free.
		The digital age then follows perfectly the Tofflerian vision of the "Third Wave" where we function entirely as individuals, with no need for institutions mediating between us and the rest of the world.

	USATODAY.com - SLR cameras are joining digital age (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Digital photography is fast encroaching on the last bastion of film: single-lens reflex cameras, or SLRs, the favorite of dedicated amateurs and pro photographers alike.
		Until now, Canon's current digital equivalent was $1,499; competitor Nikon's lowest-priced digital SLR is $1,699.
		A megapixel is a measurement of image quality, and the best-selling digital cameras now average 3 megapixels, says Michelle Slaughter, analyst with InfoTrends Research Group.

	Government Information in the Digital Age: The Once and Future Federal Depository Library Program (Site not responding. Last check: )
		GPO plans the "creation of a fully digital database of all past, present and future government documents."30 This, combined with omission of any intention of depositing digital publications with depository libraries effectively describes a vision in which depository libraries are replaced with a single monolithic database of government documents.
		In fact, in the digital environment, a system in which the responsibility of preservation and access is shared among distributed depository libraries will provide a better, more secure environment than a monolithic, government-controlled database.
		Digital information must be preserved against corruption and loss; there must be ways of ensuring that information created today can be used tomorrow.

	Copyright Infringement in the Digital Age: a Case for Law Reform
		Unlike tangible goods, the supply of digital media is limited only by the capacity of computers to reproduce the media; once a digital copy of a work is made, present-day technology makes it trivial to globally distribute an exact reproduction of the work at minimal expense and with minimal effort.
		Digital media, therefore, would seem to cease existing as a commodity and become more like air, water, and sunlight-- goods available in limitless supply to all.
		The system allows someone to digitize a CD purchased from a store and provides compensation for subsequent distribution-- precisely what the RIAA and MPAA are after when they sue individual filesharers.

	THE WORK OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION BY DOUGLAS DAVIS
		The work of art in the age of digital reproduction is physically and formally chameleon.
		Here the act of transforming and digitizing live long-distance video signals sent from Moscow to Los Angeles, for example, allows us the luxury (or deceit) of distorting, toning, and stretching verbal and visual messages when they are filed and stored on the computer terminal.
		Even now, in an age when copying is high art, when the simple physical availability of vintage masterpieces is dwindling, when post-modern theories of assemblage and collage inform a sensibility that seems our resident state of being, the concept of "aura" (if not its traditional material realization) persists.

	A Role for General Encyclopedias in the Digital Age
		Some aspects of the history of printed books are briefly examined, suggesting that uniform printed editions have fostered a view of the world as being real apart from, as opposed to being realized in, social praxis and individual experience.
		Surely it is at least suggestive that this world-view (horizon of human self-understanding) is a consequence of the stable presence of uniform printed editions, which as impassively endure in endless rows on library shelves, subsumed under fixed universal indexing schemes, as the similarly impassive facts they describe let themselves be subsumed under universal laws.
		second aspect of the Modern Age in which the form of the world (as we understand it...) follows from the communication media through which that understanding endures and develops, is the modern notion of progress.

	Public Knowledge - PK’s Testimony on the Content Protection in the Digital Age: The Broadcast Flag, High-Definition ...
		There is considerable evidence the public is greatly concerned with the government’s efforts to mandate digital television and radio content protection for digital devices.
		Under this proposal, the FCC is placed in charge both of 1) determining the extent to which unauthorized copying (which is legal is some circumstances) of digital broadcast and satellite radio content is permitted; and 2) determining what kind of copying and redistribution of audio content is permissible.
		Digital broadcast radio benefits consumers through improved sound quality (particularly for AM radio) and the ability for radio broadcasters to provide additional program streams and metadata.

	ALA \| Copyright (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Digital Age presents new challenges to fundamental copyright doctrines that are legal cornerstones of library services.
		One of the new requested exemptions is for audiovisual works and sound recordings distributed in digital format when all commercially available editions contain access controls that prevent the creation of clip compilations and other educational uses.
		Teachers at the high school, college and graduate school level are increasingly unable, because of technological measures, to compile film and music clips to use in a variety of classes (for example, in media studies, literature, and criminal law).
