A HISTORY OF DIGITAL MEDIA
From the punch card calculating machine to the personal computer to the
iPhone and more, this in-depth text offers a comprehensive introduction to
digital media history for students and scholars across media and communication
studies, providing an overview of the main turning points in digital media and
highlighting the interactions between political, business, technical, social, and
cultural elements throughout history. With a global scope and an intermedia
focus, this book enables students and scholars alike to deepen their critical
understanding of digital communication, adding an understudied historical layer
to the examination of digital media and societies. Discussion questions, a
timeline, and previously unpublished tables and maps are included to guide
readers as they learn to contextualize and critically analyze the digital tech-
nologies we use every day.
