When it is said that an object or a service is digital, it is referring to the fact that it is established from the discontinuous or discrete sending of data. In general, the term digital (used as an adjective) is found in the technological and electronic environments since it is one of the latest advances in terms of image quality, sound, effects, etc.
Constant use of fingers
So, basically the term is associated with technology, although in other times when this area was not so developed the word was especially used to refer to everything that has to do with the fingers, but when technology erupts in a voracious way At almost all levels of life, the digital word was totally linked to technology.
Now, we must say that the interaction between technology and fingers is today a vital issue if we take into account that people constantly interact with devices, computers, cell phones, tablets, among other digital devices, through our fingers.
We can also say that the term digital comes from the Latin word digitus, which means finger. In this sense, it is important to understand that digital is everything that can be counted with the fingers of the hands since the amount of elements or values to be counted is much more limited than what happens with analog data. This means that the values that make up a signal, a service or a type of digital image are much lower than those of the analog signal or service, therefore, since they are less, they can be better accounted for and measured. This will then make the digital signal much more reliable and of better quality than the analog since it has much fewer elements to be transmitted.
Analog versus digital
Until the advent of digital, almost all apparatus and machines were less simple and were based on the analog system. For example, analog clocks were composed of a series of gears and nuts that facilitated their operation, meanwhile, when digital clocks appear, with them, a more modern device of the internal motherboard type arrives plus a screen that shows us in it the numbers of the hour, bye hands of the analogical proposals.
It comes to simplify our life
Undoubtedly, digital has simplified daily life in a forceful way and that is why human beings dedicated themselves and made an effort to structure this system to live according to "their law"
The term digital is applied today to numerous electronic devices and instruments that offer, then this enhanced image service. Many types of images are digitally processed in this way and when viewed by the common eye they become much more vivid and even almost palpable than normal images. Television that has digital or high definition images is just a type of television that is much sharper, more vivid and with highly more vibrant colors, thus allowing the experience to become certainly more intense.
For a digital system to function properly, it must first go through the data synchronization phase in which organized data schemas are formed that will then be transmitted. In this way, an interesting fact can be added: any data system that has a synchronization and whose sequence system is ordered and measurable in terms of the elements that compose it, can be considered digital. Here then come examples such as the alphabet (which has a limited number of characters), Morse code or Braille, DNA, an abacus and a few others.
Daily life has been significantly simplified since the application of technology and digital, analog has been left aside so that the smallest, the most comfortable and even the most practical is purely digital.
Medicinal plant that is applied to treat heart failure
On the other hand, the concept designates the herbaceous plant that is characterized by presenting a simple stem and without too many branches, leaves with hairs and flowers in clusters, and which is used mainly as a medicinal plant to treat some heart diseases such as insufficiency. It is called this way because its purple flowers have a thimble shape and this has associated it with the finger and therefore led to the use of this concept.
