New York is
a global city at the centre of an emerging digital economy.
The study is to understand the technologies that allow
us to transfer weightless information via digital networks.
Today cities are thriving from digital technologies. Examples
of this are shown everywhere in modern cities today. Digital
surveillance is one example, which involves the use of
digital security cameras. Digital entertainment is now
probably one of the major industries in the world. With
the invention of Digital Versatile Discs (DVD’s)
and MP3 sound format, home digital entertainment has taken
off massively. Cities are the financial markets where
these leading digital entertainment producers gather and
operate. Digital finance is another major industry. New
York is the heart of one of the world’s largest
stock exchanges. There is digital communication with the
rest of the world, and the speed of communication is vital
in the stock market. Cities also portray themselves through
digital advertisement, usually via the Internet. Other
digital features within cities include digital mapping,
the media and digital services.
