Manipulation

Once we import media into the computer everything is converted into 1's & 0's. This means that in the mind of the computer everything is just on or off. Digitization empowers the computer to alter or manipulate almost anything that is imported into it. Manipulation is one of the computers most important abilities. Imagine writing a research paper and not having an undo function or the ability to cut and paste.

Where do we see the use of manipulation in American culture? What has computer manipulation changed in film, music or politics?
