What does ANALOG mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Using a continuously variable physical quantity, such as voltage or the position of a dial, to represent information, in contrast to digital methods that use discrete numbers.
An analog device measures or displays information through a smoothly changing signal, the way a clock hand sweeps continuously around the dial rather than jumping between numbers. Sound recorded on vinyl or magnetic tape stores an analog waveform that mirrors the original sound pressure, while a digital recording instead stores it as a string of discrete numbers. The word also stands on its own as a noun for something that plays the same role as something else, as when scientists call one hormone the analog of another. Analog technology mostly gave way to digital equipment in recent decades, though enthusiasts still value it for cameras, audio and clocks.
