What is Analog?

Analog technology uses continuous physical quantities to represent information. Unlike digital systems that use discrete values (0s and 1s), analog systems use a continuous range of values. Common examples include analog clocks (where the position of the hands represents time), traditional radio (where amplitude or frequency of a radio wave represents audio), and vinyl records (where grooves physically represent sound waves). Analog signals are susceptible to noise and distortion, but are often valued for their perceived warmth and naturalness.
