Digital: Ambiguous term. On one hand, everything is digital now. Cellphones have eaten analogue cameras, stereo equipment, alarm clocks, and calendars. Cars are computers on wheels. The longer we use “Digital” and the more products become digital, the less meaning it has. At the same time, using the term to express “information technology” or “interactive communication” is still justified because the word “digital” is commonly used in that Context. To our knowledge, there is no alternative term. Since the terms are infinitely interconnected and continuously evolve, it is nearly impossible to fully comprehend how networked digital systems work.
