Formats refer to the different ways information can be organized and presented. For example, in the world of digital media, formats can include JPEG for images, MP3 for audio files, and PDF for documents. Each format serves a specific purpose and is designed to optimize the way we store, share, and view content. In addition to digital formats, there are also physical formats, such as books, magazines, and DVDs. These formats determine how we interact with the material, whether it's reading a novel or watching a movie. Understanding formats helps us choose the best way to consume and share information effectively.
