A digital system is a data technology that uses
discrete (discontinuous) values. By contrast, non-digital (or analog)system information using a continuous
function. Although digital representations are discrete, the information represented can be either discrete, such
as numbers and letters or continuous, such as sounds, images, and other
measurements.
The word digital comes from the same source as the
word digit and digitus (theLatin word for finger), as fingers are used for
discrete counting. It is the most commonly used in computing and electronics, especially where real-world information is converted to binary numeric form as in digital
audio and digital
photography.
1. Digital
electronics represent signals by discrete bands of analog levels, rather than by a continuous
range. All levels within a band represent the same signal state. Relatively
small changes to the analog signal levels due to manufacturing tolerance, signal attenuation, or parasitic noise do not leave the discrete envelope,
and as a result are ignored by signal state sensing circuitry.
In most cases, the number of these states is two, and two voltage
bands represent them: one near a reference value (typically termed as
"ground" or zero volts) and a value near the supply voltage,
corresponding to the "false" ("0") and "true"
("1") values of the domain
respectively.
Digital techniques are useful because it is easier to get an
electronic device to switch into one of a number of known states than to
accurately reproduce a continuous range of values.
2.Digital media is a form of electronic media where data are stored in digital (as opposed to analog) form. It can refer to the
technical aspect of storage and transmission (e.g. hard disk drives or computer networking) of information
or to the "end product", such as digital
video, augmented reality, digital
signage, or digital art.
Florida's digital media industry association, Digital Media
Alliance Florida, defines digital media as "the creative convergence of
digital arts, science, technology, and business for human expression,
communication, social interaction, and education".
There is a rich history of non-binary digital media, computers, and their
rise to prominence over the last couple of decades.
