Digital media are versatile.

Versatility means the same content can be displayed in multiple formats - still image, sound, moving image, combinations of text on video, sound in text, video in text, and more. For example, the “I Have a Dream” speech can be listened to on audio tape, can be watched and listened to on video tape, can be read from print, or any combination of these.

With this flexibility in the medium, an individual can choose his/her preferred format without changing the content.
