Digital Technology, as we know it, is generally the means of which the creation of media is accomplished on. Digital technology covers a large spectrum of different types of technology, ranging from programs like Final Cut Pro and Photoshop CS6 to actual hardware such as the Macs we have been using to edit and develop, and the cameras that we use to record the actual footage. There is a noticeable relationship between the digital media technology and the idea of creativity in media. It's a well-known fact that creativity is enhanced by the access of greater digital technology, for an abundance of different reasons.

The aim of this is to avoid certain people from witnessing potentially damaging things in the media that they will be consuming.
