First of all, why digital?
in electronics, a differentiation is made between basic forms of signal processing: analog and digital.
Analog (continuous system)
-analog computers, radio, stereo, analog multimeters.
Digital (discrete system)
-digital computers, digital tape recording, microprocessor, digital multimeters.
Real World System --> Analog-to-Digital Converter --> Digital System
<------------------------------------------------------
Real world tend to be continuous in nature. Thus, continuous information needs to converted into digital information in order to be processed by a digital system.
