Let's Go Digital

By teamcrazymatt
As you solve this variety grid, you'll find that 16 of the puzzle's answers are too long to fit in their spaces in the grid. It's up to you to figure out the proper way of shortening them, which will require the use of all but one member of a particular set.
To keep things cryptic, enumerations have been withheld. After all, it's all just a 28 Across.
