	Digital Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In multimedia applications, the digital revolution marked the transition from the storage of information on fixed material objects dedicated to specific purposes (books for words, phonograph records or audio cassettes for sound, film for images), to the storage of all information in a binary digital format, which is readily stored on a variety of media.
		Underlying the digital revolution was the development of the digital electronic computer, the personal computer, and particularly the microprocessor with its steadily increasing performance (as described by Moore's law), which enabled computer technology to be embedded into a huge range of objects from cameras to personal music players.
		The digital revolution helped usher in a new age of mass surveillance, generating a range of new civil and human rights issues.

		Digital manufacturing may have as many definitions as there are vendors to support the concept, but the one thing for sure is that its success rests with the ability to simulate, communicate and act upon digital data system wide.
		One of the biggest obstacles still facing widespread implementation of digital manufacturing is the demand and hesitancy for firms to accept the required level of interoperability between many disparate systems and in many instances those of its partners as well.
		According to Walter, the long-term advantage to creating a digital environment is that it is a tremendously productive operation capable of easily linking up with both suppliers and customers to build something in a very flexible manner is that the labour component of the overall product cost drops considerably.
