Draft:Analog and Digital Transmission

= Analog and Digital Transmission =

The Difference Between the Two
Analog information is data that travels across signals, meanwhile digital data travels across the internet. An example of analog information is listening to the radio, and hearing that a tornado is heading your way. An example of digital information is having someone text you, alerting you that there is a tornado heading his/her way. They are similar because they both give information to the person. They are different because one uses radio signals, and the other uses the internet.

Where is the information Stored?
Analog information is stored in the antenna of a radio tower, for example, and waits until the host clicks or flips a switch that allows the analog radio signals, or waves, to travel throughout the world, and into your car radio. Digital information, however, is stored in the phone's storage unit, for example.

Stability and Security
The stability of analog information is not nearly as stable as digital information. For example, recently I was listening to the radio, and all of the sudden, everything went quiet. That was not the first time something occurred like that, so I was not shocked. However, digital information and it's security is less stable than radio or analog waves. This is because, for example, someone could get hacked on their game. This is not common on the radio, so therefore radio waves have more security, and digital information has more stability.

What are their best uses?
Music is best traveled through analog transmission, as heard on the radio, and digital transmission is best used for communication, such as talking on the phone, or sending a text message. Radio is more likely to lose its noise, due to weather or other technical issues. For example, it could be static when there is a storm.
