I have observed that the picture of a chaotic strange attractor is much more beautiful on an analogue oscilloscope than on a digital oscilloscope.
When the FM radio in my car is replace with a DAB radio
I will observe fall out with no connection just as with my mobile phone.
When you travel by public transport you observe that all people are
looking on their mobile phones. People do not communicate in a natural way anymore. We are becoming robots in a modern world with artificial intelligence.
Dear Erik,
welcome,
I asked a similar question from 5 years which is formulated as:
Did the digital versus analog game come to end? One can follow the discussions about it by following the link: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Did_the_digital_versus_analog_game_come_to_end
It is so that both the analog circuits and digital circuits will coexist for ever. The digital for the core and the analog for the peripheral. Between the peripheral and the core there will be A/D and D/A convertes which are considered mixed circuits. The digital core for processing and electronic storage which are very superior against their analog counterparts. In fact there is no analog device like the electronic digital memory. For more information please follow the link:https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_would_be_the_impact_of_an_existence_of_an_electronic_analog_memory_on_electronic_systems
Best wishes
It's probably not a good idea to use the word "always"...
There exist some aspects in the question:
* the digital era is demanded by the market - it's about the repeatability when manufacturing gazillion of devices which have to be produced at no time - more devices more money;
* in some areas the digitalization is impossible as the nature of some phenomena is purely analog - (electromagnetic) waves, temperature, pressure etc. - these would be firstly processed by the old fashion analog electronics and just then processed and stored digitally;
* even some analog "devices" can be thought of being digital in some sense. For example the human eye - why do we see images flickering if they update under about 50Hz or so; seeing a bicycle wheel rotating at the opposite direction from above some speed is a direct consequence of not following the Nyquist–Shannon–Kotelnikov sampling theorem.
* becoming a zombie is more social related issue but that's the reality... I think that at first the artificial intelligence will become ubiquitous (again because of the market). Then probably the next era will advertise "machines without AI" - just like today we search for a fruit juice without preservatives and coloring agents... :)
I think both worlds (analog and digital) will always complement each other.
