digital
Traditionally, digital means the use of numbers and the term comes
from digit, or finger. Today, digital is synonymous with computer.
Digital Means Original The 0s and 1s of digital data mean more than
than just on and off. They mean perfect copying. When information, music,
voice and video are turned into binary digital form,
they can be electronically manipulated, preserved and regenerated perfectly
at high
speed. The millionth copy of a computer file is exactly the same as
the original. While
this continually drives the software industry crazy protecting its
copyrights, it is nevertheless a major advantage of digital processing.
