Digital Storage

One of the advantages of converting and storing information in a digital form is that many different types of data (or media) can be stored onto a single physical media. For example, once converted, sound, still images and moving images can be stored with purely digital data, such as animation and text files. These multiple sources of media can be stored onto a hard disk or CD-ROM and then read by a multimedia package which can read and display (or represent) each of the different types of media.
