What statement best describes the way that digital media sends information?
It sends information slowly, but to many people at once.
It sends information slowly, and to just a few people at a time.
It sends information quickly, and to many people at once.
It sends information quickly, but to just a few people at a time.

Let us think of data transfers in digital media like cars in a freeway. Let’s also assume that these cars are traveling at the same speed. The same way these cars are traveling in a freeway at equal speeds is the same way data is transmitted across the internet in packets. However, to get data transmitted to you a bit faster, the freeway needs to be expanded. Essentially, it needs to be wider. Basically, this means that if I had 1 Mbps (1 lane), then I would be able to download a 5 Mb image in roughly 5 seconds. Let us now assume that we have added 5 lanes (5 Mbps) in the same freeway and then tried to download the 5 Mb image. It would only take a second.

Ideally, digital media should be able send information quickly, and to many people all at once. The analogy above, however, explains why bandwidth is important. The greater the bandwidth, the higher the transfer rate. Digital media transfers, by default, rely on this basic principle of bandwidth and without it, we would not be able to send digital media files in the first place.
