What is Digital Content?

This morning I was asked to describe or list the areas that the term Digital Content means to me. I immediately rolled off a list of areas but obviously any list like this is going to be somewhat arbitrary.  For example I tend not to include web content, although I can think of several web projects that clearly do fit.  The defining or unifying concept that I see behind the term is convergence, so for me Digital Content is that which is most converged at this moment. Web & Audio are good examples where much of the digital aspect has diffused back into the wider economy (who even talks about tape recorders?).  Obviously I’m coming from a game perspective though, so in the interests of transparency, I thought I would post my list here for discussion:

• Game Development
  • PC/Console, Handheld, Online, Casual, Phone, MMO…
• Animation
  • Game, TV, Movie, Web, Advertising, Visualisation
  • Flash, 3D, Keyframe, MoCap
• Simulation at various levels of fidelity
  • Entertainment, Familiarisation, Training, Scientific, Visualisation, Military
• Edutainment
  • Entertainment, Training, Teaching
• Interactive Art
