Digital media is encompassing our entire lives and will continue to. From how we learn, how health care is delivered, how people are supported with mental illnesses--it's starting to penetrate every aspect of our lives.
Canada has a very proud history of technical innovation, technology development, and storytelling. Our multicultural history has made us world leaders in that. Digital media is really about taking technology innovation and matching it with content to develop products we all use to learn from, to inform ourselves, and to entertain.
It's often invisible to many of us, but increasingly the devices we carry, what we use for business, what's in our home, and what our children are definitely using is all digital media. We're on the brink of a massive change culturally around the world in how we inform, educate, and entertain ourselves, and that's being driven by digital media. While it's transparent and invisible to most people, it's a wave that's about to crash down on the world and fundamentally change the way we all live our lives.
