Analog

English (en)

Analog
Analog is the opposite of digital. 
Any technology, such as vinyl 
records or clocks with hands and 
faces, that doesn't break 
everything down into binary code 
to work is analog. Analog, you 
might say, is strictly old school.

Analog technology involves 
measuring, storing, or recording 
an infinitely variable amount of 
information by using physical 
quantities such as voltage. An 
analog watch or clock shows what 
it is measuring with a pointer on 
a dial rather than with a number 
display. Compare digital.
