Analog vs digital is comparable but there are also differences. Analog sounds take audio or video signals and translate them into electronic pulses. Digital is different because it breaks the signals down into a binary format. The audio and video in this case is represented by a series of ones(1's) and zeros(0's). Whether it is digital or analog the devices do the conversion. Analog has been
. around for decades and is less expensive than digital. You can get an analog telephone for about $20. A digital phone on the hand is more expensive. A digital device like a phone, modem or television will convert the ones and zeros and reassemble them into the original signals sent. The great thing about digital is that it has the capability of fixing errors that may have occurred during transmission. Digital also provides the viewer or listener with a better quality reception than analog. Even though digital provides a better quality reception, it does have drawbacks.
