Digital vs Analog. What's the Difference? Why Does it Matter?


Summary

The video explains the fundamental difference between analog and digital systems using light bulbs as an example. It simplifies analog as a continuous system with infinite possibilities while digital operates in binary states. By comparing light switches to knobs, it illustrates how digital and analog gradients work. The reliability of digital systems is emphasized for handling critical information like bank accounts, contrasting with analog systems. It distinguishes between analog and digital outputs, highlighting their precision in generating sound and images.
