Abstract
As the globe becomes more dependent on digital technology to exchange information over the Internet societies are becoming more concerned with issues of privacy. Individuals surfing the net, purchasing products over the Internet, and corresponding with others via the World Wide Web are required to provide personal information that has the potential of being used illegally in many ways. The United States has relied on the wording of the fourth amendment of the constitution in past years to address privacy issues in the country. Yet, as digital technology has evolved the focus on this amendment to resolve privacy concerns in relation to digital media is restricted by privacy in relation to search and seizure. This paper discusses the issues of privacy in relation to digital media, focusing on how these issues are handled in the United States and Canada.

Abstract
The paper explains that the case of Napster is typical of copyright infringement because it demonstrates just how inadequate legislation is as it relates to digital technology. The paper explains that in addition, Napster represents just one area where copyright can be violated. The paper shows how the Napster case reveals that in terms of digital technology, the fundamental issue concerns how to reconcile the traditional concept of contributory liability with the widespread use of digitized works made available by the Internet.

From the Paper
"With the advent of digital technology, research has found that as many as 90 percent of all Internet users and about 70 percent of users who share files freely admit that copyright is not an issue for them. These people regularly download many different kinds of files, ranging from movies to computer programs. The most likely individuals to download music and share files are students. Young adults behave in comparable ways since they also normally are not concerned about the copyright status of whatever files they download. Music is very easily downloaded, and it is far easier to download music than full-length feature movies."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the trajectory toward an increasingly digital world can be especially frightening to those who grew up in a time replete with analog devices and now antiquated machines. Certainly the implications of the new digital order that the human race seems to be drawing toward are profound. The writer maintains that there will be significantly less personal interaction but considerably more ease in once cumbersome tasks.

The Future of Digital Publishing

From the Paper
"The implementation of digital technology in the process of publishing has taken place primarily because of the various advantages that this relatively new technology offers over older methods and processes. One of the essential aspects of digital technology in relation to older types of publishing and printing is that the process takes place contiguously and often holistically and can be managed in its entirety by the digital technology available, rather than being divided and separated into different area of process, as was the case in the past. As one study on this subject states, "The advantages of digital publishing are numerous. For one, the whole job is done in a continuous operation..." ( Digital Printing Myths - Busted!) This aspect is mainly facilitated by the implementation of digital computer software, as will be discussed in more detail below."

Abstract
This paper provides a history of digital recording technology, from the advent of digital technologies in the late 1960s to the development of modern digital recording technologies like CDs, DVDs, MP3 files and others. The benefits of this transition from analog to digital technologies are provided.

From the Paper
"In 'Getting into Digital Recording' Paul D Lehrman asserts Digital recording had revolutionized the world of audio in the last decade and a half. Just about any recorded music you hear today has existed in a digital format somewhere along the way. Despite the ubiquitous nature of digital recording technologies their history is relatively recent. Until the sixties all recording technology relied on a physical analog. Formerly only motion picture studios or large recording studios could afford digital recording."

Abstract
This paper examines the digital photography revolution which occurred beginning in the late 1990s. It addresses the question about whether or not the traditional film photography industry has been made obsolete by digital cameras, the Internet and the use of computers and photo editing software.

From the Paper
"According to an essay written by David Singleton, published online on the Articles base website industry, statistics published by the Photo Marketing Association International indicate that between May of ... and May of ..., the number of digital photograph prints produced in the United States grew by ... percent. During the same period of time, sales of traditional film cameras decreased by ... percent. Not only is the quality of digital photographs improving each year, but there is a significant potential cost savings associated with digital photography for the average..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the rapidly growing advancements in computer technology have created many issues especially in the arts. It looks at how with the aid of computers, art can be digitally crafted which gave way to what we now call "digital art." It evaluates how artists working with digital technologies are redefining art, often dissolving the boundaries between the traditional forms and how artists, engineers, designers and scientists are able to collaborate and exchange roles, initiating fundamental research to create digitally realized art and experience. It presents information about arts and computers, how computers are being used to generate pieces of art works and also distinguishes between digital art and more traditional art forms to give justice and to categorize each type in their own significance, value and meaning in the world of arts.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Digital art is an essential part of computer culture. The use of computers will not be as stimulating as it is today without the help of the graphical images that brings life to the visual sense of the users. With this type of art, people are motivated and inspired by the technological advancements in their work and lifestyle. Digital art is the new genre of art today. It is considered as the new paintbrush of the 21st century. And according to the Downtown Arts magazine, Digital Art has the possibility of moving beyond the metaphor of canvas and brush. As an art piece, it simply does not use the Web as a means of display; rather, it actually depends on the Web as a part of its creative process."

Abstract
This paper presents a case study of Kodak that demonstrates how disruptive technologies, such as digital photography, which made Kodak's expertise in film useless, can challenge even highly successful companies that are unable to adapt because successful business models eliminate adopting disruptive technologies as viable strategies. The paper also reviews the strategies Kodak should have used, especially Tidd and Bessant's innovation process model. The paper specifically reviews the application of this iterative change management framework in which even false starts can be innovative because the process facilitates recycling between each phase.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Tidd et. al. have cautioned against the occurrence of negative routine. Every organization must have its culturally specific routines about how to manage people, quality and innovation. However the same routines can turn into core rigidities which obstruct innovation and its management. Therefore the top management must develop a performance management system which will enable them to assess when the organizational routines are limiting the different functions rather than enabling them. The performance management system should enable the management to scan, filter and process different signals."

Abstract
This paper discusses the evolution of the digital art form that emerged as a combination of technological expertise and traditional artistic vision. The paper contends that the emerging digital technologies are creating new forms and genres of art, which are a result of the interaction between traditional views of art. The study of the collusion and interaction between technical knowledge and artistic imagination and innovation forms the central trajectory of this paper.

From the Paper
"An important aspect to consider in the evolution of digital art is the issue of legitimacy and acceptance. While the acceptance of digital art is far from ubiquitous there is now a strong basis for the recognition of digital art forms. (ibid) However, the hectic pace of technological development has meant that many artists feel inadequate in the face of technology that requires, in many cases, training and a mindset which is oriented towards a technological rather than a traditionally artistic point of view. Connected to this issue is the fact that art theory and aesthetics are struggling to assimilate these new technological methodologies."
