1. Pixels refer to all digital images viewed on screens such as TVs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. 2. We finance, produce, share, and pay attention to pixels through various mediums such as films, social media, games, and more. However, we have historically categorized pixels in a limiting way. 3. We now have access to an infinite ocean of pixels from around the world through our internet-connected devices. Each small choice we make about the pixels we view, create, and share shapes this ocean and the future that today's children and generations to come will inherit.
