Why digital images are so important, and a couple subject-specific sites.

I just want to remember this list of why digital images are so important. It may become a small part of my argument to get money for digital resources.
• Unlimited Copies - digital image files may be duplicated and/or printed many times
• Unlimited use of the same image - students may use the same digital image in different documents
• Scaled to print in different sizes - high resolution digital images may be printed in large or small sizes
• Shared via e-mail - digital images may be sent to anyone with an e-mail account
• Shared via World Wide Web - web sites can display digital images
• Presentations - images can be used in PowerPoint or other computer presentations
• Digital video - images can be imported into digital video projects and transferred to videotape or DVDs
• Create database - images can be imported into a database, for example, a database on types of plants
• Editing for emphasis- copies of digital images can be drawn on or edited without ruining the original image
• Image storage - digital images may be stored on a computer, CD, disk or web site
• Slide shows - computers can run slide shows of digital images
