What is the Definition of Analog Data?
Analog technology dominated the audio industry for more than a century. Beginning with the first primitive analog devices of the 1870s, they were often the sole viable means of recording sound until the introduction of the compact disc in the 1980s. Although some forms of audio are now approaching obsolescence, one form continues to cling to life due to its unique virtues. It was also the principal medium for early computer data storage, with even some computer designs being not digital, but entirely analog.
