1. The definition of Digital Communication is - any electronic exchange of information. 
2. In my opinion some advantages of Digital Communication are: 

•  If you need to get a hold of someone ASAP then Digital Communication can come in handy. 
•  People have friends and family that live far away, and Digital Communication helps them stay in contact with each other. 
•  With Digital Communication, information can be stored and retrieved when needed. 
•  Digital Communication is fast, easy, and convenient for many situations.

Some Disadvantages are:

•  People don't interact with one another as much as they should, or used to before Digital 
•  Communication became such a big part in lives today. 
•  Not all situations and discussions should not be done using Digital Communication, some stuations are better to be discussed in person, face to face.
•  People don't think before they send a message, they type it and click send before they even blink, and once a message is sent, you cannot "unsend", which can sometimes be harmful. 

       3. The three most popular of Digital Communication today are texting, calling, and facebook (posting/messaging). I think these three are the most popular because, well almost everyone from the ages 11 and up have a cell phone, and is pretty much always in reach of its owner, and whenever someone wants to give someone a text or call, the phone is right there for them to use. Or if your bored you could just shoot a friend a text, and get a reply within seconds. Facebook is huge all around the world, and people from all over the place use it for Digital Communication.

        4. Some forms of Digital Communication that I don't think will be around much longer, is Blackberry messenger (BBM), because smart phones are taking over, and blackberrys just aren't as popular as they once were. I also don't think that Facebook will always remain as popular as it is now. I think it will soon die down, and people just won't use it as much. Snapchat is another form of digital communication that I think will die down. It is extremely popular right now, but it will soon die down because it is not used for all good purposes, and it almost like another form of texting.

        5. Five scenarios where you should not use Digital Communication:

• When making a big announcement, for example announcing an engagement. 
• Breaking up with someone should never happen over text/call, it should always be done face to face.
• Breaking bad news to someone, for example a death. 
• You should never be using digital communication during a bad time, for example at a wake or funeral, or a wedding. 
• You should never use digital communication to announce someone else's news, for example congratulating someone on their engagement by posting on facebook.
• Telling a big secret should not be done using digital communication, because someone else could see your phone, or the other persons phone. Or they could show someone else what you said. 

        6. All forms of digital communication are dangerous. If used incorrect, they can all be harmful.Some people do not use digital communication in the way it is made for, which is very dangerous and harmful. People do not know how serious something they do over digital communication can be.

        7. I think people will continue to be more and more connected, because technology is only going to improve and become bigger and better.

        8.If a person dies, or becomes to sick or injured to communicate or for any other reason to avoid digital communication, I think that their records of online activity should not be touched. I think it should be left alone, because sometimes friends and family like looking at old pictures or messages between one another, to bring back the good memories of that person.
