# Digital
Digital [technology](tech.md) is that which works with whole numbers, i.e. discrete values, as opposed to [analog](analog.md) technology which works with [real numbers](real_number.md), i.e. continuous values. The name *digital* is related to the word *digit* as digital computers store data by digits, e.g. in 1s and 0s if they work in [binary](binary.md).
Digital [technology](tech.md) is that which works with whole numbers, i.e. discrete values, as opposed to [analog](analog.md) technology which works with [real numbers](real_number.md), i.e. continuous values (note: do not confuse things such as [floating point](float.md) with truly continuous values!). The name *digital* is related to the word *digit* as digital computers store data by digits, e.g. in 1s and 0s if they work in [binary](binary.md).
Normies confuse digital with [electronic](electronic.md) or think that digital computers can only be electronic, that digital computers can only work in [binary](binary.md) or have other weird assumptions whatsoever. **This is indeed false!** An [abacus](abacus.md) is digital device. Fucking normies.
