Is there a need for a new “asset” type? What are “digital materials?” Can digital materials be designated as “Digital Assets?” What is the driven source of the “Digital Asset?” Is the “Digital Asset” concept mature enough to be defined as a new asset type? For example, under what name or ownership should we regard all social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.), online photo albums(Flickr, Picasa etc.), blogs, domain names, websites, email accounts, smart phones or any information stored in the cloud or computers? In reality, digital images, photos, documents, audio and video files should be considered “assets” because they are real and contains monetary and personal values. In addition, what will happen to these “Digital Assets” after death? Does the “Digital Society” or “Cyber Citizenry” need better cyber law and regulations particularly related to the “Digital Assets” concept? Today, the concept of Digital Asset is real.

Digital Media Dependency, Relational Orientation and Socaial Networking among College Students
This study focused on digital media dependency, relational orientation, and demographic variables as potential factors that were relevant to the usage of social networking websites (e.g., MySpace and Facebook) among college students. A total of 258 (101 male and 157 female) students completed the questionnaire that contains the measures of digital media dependency, relational orientation, social networking media usage, and demographic characteristics. The respondents also indicated specific types of things that they disclose (post) on their social media websites. The results showed that relational orientation is positively correlated with the disclosure (posting) of family photos, friends’ photos, and travel photos and that White students are more likely than others to disclose their gender and favorite things (likes/dislikes) and post their own photos and travel photos. Regression analysis revealed that age is a significant, negative indicator of social media usage, whereas digital media dependency and overall computer usage are significant, positive predictors for the dependent measure. That is, the younger the student and the greater the levels of digital media dependency and overall computer usage, the greater the level of involvement in social networking website
