Imagine you are really hungry and want a pizza. Years ago, you might have had to walk to the pizza shop, order at the counter, and wait for it to be made. That’s like how people used to get music, movies, or games—you had to go to a store and buy a physical copy, like a CD or DVD.
Now think about how pizza delivery works today.
You open an app or website, choose your pizza, and press order. The pizza is made at the restaurant and delivered straight to your house. You don’t have to travel anywhere, and you get your food faster and easier.
This is similar to digital distribution.
What is Digital Distribution?
Digital distribution is a way of delivering things like music, videos, games, books, or apps through the internet instead of in physical form.
The Pizza Delivery Example
- The pizza = music, movies, games, or apps
- The pizza restaurant = the creator (musician, filmmaker, game maker)
- The delivery car = the internet
- Your house = your phone, tablet, computer, or TV
When you press “play,” “download,” or “stream,” it’s like ordering a pizza online. The content travels through the internet and shows up on your device almost instantly—just like pizza arriving at your door.
Why Digital Distribution Is Important
- It’s fast
- You can get things anywhere
- You don’t need a store or a physical product
- Creators can reach people all over the world
