The most important question ever asked. Defend your choice.

I chose digital, but it's analog for clocks.

I prefer my women analog, but usually end up with digital.

I don't know, I've never attempted analog manipulation

Digital FTW. Internet radio at work is the best invention EVAR.

Analog penetration doesn't get you to third base.

10 people so far don't think the world should be/is infinitely divisible.

Analog's great... if you like crap.

Analog for anything not related to computers, which would choke on it.

Digital provides far more flexibility, and as computing power and technology continue to advance, the difference in quality between the two will keep receding towards zero.

People, this is not a question of mere technology. This is The Metaphysical Question. Is the world analog or digital?

Unfortunately there IS much grey. Black and White only go so far.

I believe the world is a series of electric charges on a piece of magnetic tape.

The world is analog. Analog is infinite. Digital is not

Analog is infinitely divisible - slight difference. To say the world is analog means that atomic theory is an incomplete account.

Wouldn't quantum mechanics be digital? I don't know what chaos theory would be though.

I chose analog and clicked "vote" a moment before I remembered that quantum mechanics means the world is digital. :(

Not really, quantum mechanics is all about waves - a very analog thing.
Standing waves can only have a whole number of nodes, so you could make a case for integers.

Digital unless we are talking about a guitar amplifier, "all tube" rocks for guitar amps.

Quantum mechanics seems to me where the digital and the analog actually blur.

I was thinking more particles than waves but as an English major with just a lay interest in physics I suspect I'm well over my head here..... :)
