From the Paper:

"Digital imaging has a wide variety of uses today, serving as a new means of photography, empowering office copiers, allowing for the transfer of images over long distances, and so on. Digital technology is computer technology translating information into a series of numbers, computer code that can be read and transformed back into the original form. Digital information can be text, sound, or pictures when translated, and in its digital form the information can be stored, retrieved, sent from one place to another, and altered, all with greater ease than changing the original material. Digital imaging in the workplace is found in office computers, copiers, fax machines, databases, and so on."
