Digital

(adj.) Describes any kind of information that is stored as a sequence of bits rather than as the kind of information stored without sharp differences like a flow of sound on tape or ink on paper, which are examples of analog record. The analog information is susceptible to noise, aging and corruption during copying much more than the digital media.
The word digital comes from Latin digitus = finger, which refers to the bit yes/no structure of the information - the finger is either up or down.
