A SOLID analog education will cost more than a solid digital education. The math involved increases cost and the availability of the courses are fewer than digital.

Also, analog professionals get paid less than digital professionals.

Analog designer: $63,996/year

Software Eng.: $74,319/year

Digital Artist: $90,483/year

Digital Engineer: $88,852/year

At what year was that information researched?

They are for current open positions.

 

Indeed, exorbitant cost is another reason why people choose digital over analog.

I'm still wondering if any of you think that a new form of electricity transfer or data transfer will be implemented in the future? Will it always just be analog and digital?

Well adding the third state has gotten digital one step closer to analog. I think it will keep going that route.

What ever happens, it will be always analog since digital is a name given to special analog circuits designed to work in the fashion we call digital electronics. All the signals are analog, even in digital circuits because when a digital circuit switches between 0 and 1 the voltage does not change in a step fashion but it ramps down or up within a finite time.

Very true. However, optical circuits do have strict digital operation, but thats about it, after we switch to voltage, its analog.

Digital is using numbers to represent values and
Analog is values that represent themselves.

Can you explain your idea on optical circuits?

Used in fiber technology mainly. Beam splitting, polarized lenses that change on off depending on light from another source. REAL 1 and 0. ON and OFF.
