Something that is digital is something you can count like the alphabet, deck of cards, and even funds in your account.
Something that is analog is something that is infinite for example the precise weight of something, numbers, minecraft house.
However the weight of something could be digital if it’s in whole numbers.
Something that is analog cannot be copied exactly, while digital can
The magic of digital is that it can turn electron light waves into a picture using a scale of three different colors. An example of why it’s so magical is this website. This website is perfectly displayed digitally to me. Not only this website but everything from as mentioned in class the printer screens all the way to the phones, laptops, and televisions we all commonly use. All of these awesome abilities that the digital world has gifted us are possible due to fiber optics. Fiber optics is digital data transmitted over fiber optic cables using light waves. This allows for high-speed internet connections, making instant communication possible across long distances with minimal latency. The light waves give a signal to the display to put different colored bits on the screen to make a whole picture. If the waves aren’t sending a frequency to my computer to display each and every little bit we this piece of junk I’m clicking on would be useless.
When you want something such as a website displayed on your computer screen, your computer needs to receive that information from somewhere. When that “somewhere” sends the information over, it is pristine looking like the blue line in the graph to the right. However in the process of the data being displayed on your computer: noise gets added to the signal. In the process it looks like the gray line. When it’s time for your computer to receive and display the image on your screen, it converts the gray line back into the blue line. This is the magic of digital, the fact that your computer can look at the gray line and get the information of the blue line through all the noise.
