Digital means that information is translated to numbers. This results that the Message can be splitted in well-defined parts that have a clear value e.g. 0/1, a..z, word etc.

Changed lines 9-10 from:

Compare with digital vs. analogue clock: at the digital clock it shows exactly 12:24. The analogue clock (in theory) when it goes from the 24th minutes to 25th it goes proportionally with the time (see with red, dotted).

Digital and analogue information

Digital means that information is translated to numbers. This results that the Message can be splitted in well-defined parts that have a clear value e.g. 0/1, a..z, word etc.

In analogue communication if you take two values, there is always a possibility to express a new value inbetween them.

(:draw clock:) Compare with digital vs. analogue clock: at the digital clock it shows exactly 12:24. The analogue clock (in theory) when it goes from the 24th minutes to 25th it goes proportionally with the time.

Another major difference: a digital message can not be partly processed: or it is fully processed or nothing. An analogue one is more diffuse: if you take out some information, that also might have a particular meaning (but less punctual).
