Electronic devices that produce, store, and analyze data in both positive and nonpositive states are referred to as digital. Positive is represented by the number 1 and nonpositive is represented by 0. Prior to the digital era, electronic communication was constrained to analog technology, transmitting data though electronic signals characterized by varying frequency or amplitude superimposed onto carrier waves of specific frequencies. Digital can also encompass a wider range of things that are represented or processed using digital technology, including virtual reality, mobile apps, podcasts, digital media, and digital marketing. Digital technology is predominantly used alongside modern physical communication mediums like satellite and fiber optic transmission. A modem serves the purpose of converting digital data within computers into analog signals for transmission over phone lines, as well as converting analog phone signals into digital information for computers. Some benefits of going digital include quick access to information, ease of accessibility and management, simplified storage, enhanced flexibility, and versatility.
