What this Shows

These two examples show that analog doesn't show the solution as fast or as clear as digital devices. Digital devices also give you more information and the information given is more in-depth. One main downfall of digital devices is the fact that they often rely on batteries or charging power.

Conclusions:

After reading the article, "Digital Communication" and watching the Brainpop, "Analog vs. Digital" we learned a lot about Analog and Digital devices. The sources taught us a lot about the difference between analog and digital waves. In the end, we believe digital technology is more beneficial to our society.

On the other hand, an analog sound wave is a smooth curved line unlike the digital wave which is not smooth.
