Introduction
If it is true that Digital Arts would not have being in
existence without Digital Technology, then it will not proper not to mention it
as far as the study of Digital Arts is concerned. It had influenced several
facets of life so much so that Louis, Nashelsky.(1977:3) pointed out the ‘vital
roles of Digital Technology in
technological learning in order to comprehend the usage and operations of the
PCs’ in carrying of Digital Arts. (Howard, Rheingold 2012:1).
More so, the history of Digital Arts can be dated back to
the early times of electronic advancement
in the 1950s plus 1960s were PCs were only largely owned by big organizations,
so cable performers deemed it fit to
rent computers on 60 minutes basis par
charge. (Richard, Colson. 2007:12)

The interconnection of electronic devices and human beings: This

individual pattern of living in physical life. It also highlights the pervasive
nature of telephones in relation to man’s activities and identity.
Over the years, it being recorded that the closeness between
humans and digital gadgets had posed challenges ranging from not only privacy,
surveillance and ubiquitous high-tech but also in the complete dependence in
electronic devices as well as unequal accessibility and supplying captivating
examples to reason out the features of academic materials and career.
Apart from the very popular
ubiquitous technology that had being widely investigated to be one of the
greatest challenges facing man, Arts and Literature appear to be other factor with
similar characteristics to the former. Similarly, Katherine, Hayles (2008:3) argued
that “Work with an important
literary aspect takes advantage of the capabilities and contexts provided by
the stand-alone or networked computers”
Even though
the internet is seen as ‘A creation which does not encourage its audiences to
recollect past experiences because they do not need to exercise their brains to
keep in remembrance what they have learnt due to the fact that their interests
were rather aroused under circumstances that they are not familiar with’
(Howard, Rheingold 2012:50), it
still remains the highest utilized
social platform globally even though the ratio of people with its full
comprehension is very minimal. It is a system comprising different areas of
life. (Alan, Dennis. 2002:218).
Conclusion
In summary, rather than wanting to
know if the web is influencing us to be foolish or social networks wasting our
time or exchanging our private lives with money; it is best to instead learn
how to handle and operate it logically, compassionately and carefully. (Howard, Rheingold 2012: 1).
Finally, Digital Technology is indeed a welcome development in the
society and most especially in the world of Digital Arts because “Harmonization
is needful if one must dance, corporation to perform with another person and
teamwork to bring together a theatre audience”. (Howard, Rheingold 2012:250).
