Laughing Til You Cry

Any media which is stored in electronic form is known as digital media. Unlike analogue media (any information which exists in physical form, such as books, paintings and so on), digital media is information which can be stored and displayed or listened to on a computer. This media is stored in binary form (a digital format consisting of ones and zeroes which your computer can interpret) and can then be translated by your computer and presented to you in a form intelligible to human beings - text, images and audio.
Digital media is all around us now. Most of us use computers on a daily basis and of course, any information which you view on a computer is, by definition digital media. The internet is nothing more than a collection of digital media. E cards are one popular type of digital media - an E card may consist of images, text, audio and even video content. Besides video based E cards, there are also those which contain animations; these may be two or three dimensional.
Most E cards begin with an image of some sort. These images may be created by the user using Adobe Illustrator or similar software, taken from clip art libraries or scanned from a photograph. Digital photographs, just like printed ones are made up of pixels. In digital media, these pixels are each represented by a bit of data. The more pixels there are in a picture, the more information it contains. For the user, this means a larger (and usually higher resolution) image displayed in the screen.
On the other hand, 2D or 3D animations are pictures that move. They are made of a set of images combined together using scripting language, so that they appear to be moving. Therefore, these non-static images are larger than static images, although they may appear cartoon-like. The same algorithm can also be used to make the texts to appear moving on the e card. Then, audio files are added for effect.
This combination of images, along with text and audio if desired makes up the contents of an E card. While E cards offer more features than a traditional greeting card, they are far easier to send; they can be sent very quickly and at little to no expense. You don't need a stamp and they can't get lost in the mail! All you need is an email address to send them to; there's plenty of different E cards to choose from, with funny E cards being by far the most popular. E cards are great for any occasion - holidays, weddings and birthdays, or simply to let someone know you're thinking of them.
