The difference between analog and digital is in how the information/data is measured: Analog technology uses data that is continuous and the goal is to capture a likeness of reality. Digital technology uses sampling to encode the data and then reproduces it as closely as needed.

What is the difference between analogue and digital?
In analog technology, a wave is recorded or used in its original form. So, for example, in an analog tape recorder, a signal is taken straight from the microphone and laid onto tape. ... In digital technology, the analog wave is sampled at some interval, and then turned into numbers that are stored in the digital device.
What is analogue data?
Analog data is data that is represented in a physical way. ... For example, physical movements of objects can be modeled in a spatial simulation, and real-time audio and video can be captured using a range of systems and devices. Analog data may also be known as organic data or real-world data.
What are examples of analog data?
| Analogue Data | |

| Definition: "Analogue data use values that change very smoothly." | |
| # | This image shows you an example of a smoothly changing sound wave: |
| Analogue Devices | |
| # | All analogue devices use analogue data. Examples of analogue devices include: Microphone Headphones Loud Speaker Sensors (temperature, pressure etc) |
What is analog and digital data in data communication?
While analog transmission is the transfer of a continuously varying analog signal over an analog channel, digital communications is the transfer of discrete messages over a digital or an analog channel. ... Data transmitted may be digital messages originating from a data source, for example a computer or a keyboard.
