Whether an invention can be classified as either Digital or Analog at first seems rather straightforward. Without knowing the proper definitions one could assume that inventions that are Analog are simply older technologies such as Telegraph or the Typewriter which were invented in the 1870s, the same could even be said for inventions that at first maybe considered Digital like an Osiloscope or a Telephone. But in reality those two inventions are Analog in nature while the Telegraph and Typewriter are Digital even though they were invented far earlier than the term Digital became widely realized. It’s due to the type of information they translate to the user and show it in a legiable manner. Digital signals are typically always binary in nature, they are either meant to represent either one thing or an other like how binary code is depicted with it being made up of 1s and 0s. When you transmit Morse Code on a Telegraph, it’s either made up of Dashes or dots with very little room for error to occur. Even when transmitting it over long distances when Telegraphs were commonly used, noise from the electrical signal was far easier to detect due to the simplicity of the information being transmitted with it being binary in nature so noise could be removed from the signal easily and transmitted onto the next location. While something like an Osiloscope which is typically displayed using an LCD screen would assumidly be considered a Digital Invention right? Due to the type of signal it is recieving it is considered an Analog signal rather than a Digital one. The soundwaves Osiloscopes pick up are Analog in nature due to their continous nature and therefore can’t have their noise removed compared to Digital Signals. The sound waves displayed on an Osiloscopes display show all of the noise associated with an Analog signal.
