The Night Watch
Our world can be looked at through two different lense, digital and analog. How they are different shapes the way we interpret our world.
Analog is something that is often associated with ‘ancient’ technology, phones before they were what we now know as cell phones. It was the way tvs had bunny ears and snow and how talking on the phone was hard to understand. Technology changed dramatically after digital was implemented into society. Our tvs had better visual quality and you could not only understand someone when talking on a cell phone, but recognize them. But what is the actual difference between analog and digital? In the world everything that comes from nature can be considered as analog, meaning that there is an infinite amount of things that can happen and occur. For example painting is infinite with the amount of colors that can be mixed with each other to create a new color. While digital is more finite it is often thought of as zeros and ones but it can be defined as anything that can be counted. For example any alphabet can be described as digital because there is a finite amount of letters. It was interesting to learn that while the internet is most often associated with these terms they can be used to describe anything around us.
