digital media

An IT term that refers to content created, stored, and distributed in digital format. The term has an unfortunate etymological coincidence with the Latin phrase "digitus medius", meaning "middle finger", which humorously highlights the prevalence of inappropriate content swimming on the Internet.
While digital media encompasses a vast array of creative works, the term's unfortunate etymology reminds us of the less savory aspects of the internet.
