This is certainly not a new concept: before it was reintroduced as "Digital Cinematography" in the late 1990s it was known for many years as "Electronic Cinematography". Sony had been trying to market this concept using tube-based analog HDTV cameras since the late 1980s, with very little success. It was not until 1998 when they were able to introduce workable 1920 x 1080 pixel CCD cameras with attached HD Digital Betacam recorders that the industry began to take the medium seriously. ...more on Wikipedia about "Digital cinematography"

In this case digital refers to the discreet states of "0" and "1" for representing arbitrary data. Computers are machines that (usually) interpret binary digital data as information and thus represent the predominating class of digital information processing machines. Digital media ("Formats for presenting information" according to Wiktionary:Media) like digital audio, digital video and other digital " content" can be created, referred to and distributed via digital information processing machines. Digital media represents a profound change from previous ( analog) media. ...more on Wikipedia about "Digital media"

A fractal is a geometric object which is rough or irregular on all scales of length, and therefore appears to be 'broken up' in a radical way. Fractals can be most simply defined as images that can be divided into parts, each of which is similar to the original object. Fractals are said to possess infinite detail, and some of them have a self-similar structure that occurs at different scales, or levels of magnification. In many cases, a fractal can be generated by a repeating pattern, in a typically recursive or iterative process. The term fractal was coined in 1975 by Benoît Mandelbrot, from the Latin fractus or "broken". Before Mandelbrot coined his term, the common name for such structures (the Koch snowflake, for example) was monster curve. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fractal"

In computing, Kryder's law states that hard drives are benefiting from an exponential increase in the density (bits per unit area) of information they are able to store. Kryder's Law is essentially Moore's Law for storage. But the density of information on hard drives has been growing at an even faster rate , increasing by a factor of 1000 in 10.5 years, which corresponds to a doubling roughly every 13 months. ...more on Wikipedia about "Kryder's law"
