Based on what you have read, explain the advantages of digital signals over analog signals.

Answer:

Digital signals have several advantages over analog signals. First, digital signals are less susceptible to noise and interference, meaning the quality of the transmitted sound or image remains clear. Second, digital information can be easily stored and compressed on electronic devices. Finally, digital signals do not degrade over time; a recorded digital file will maintain its original quality regardless of how many times it is played or how long it is stored, unlike analog recordings which wear out or lose fidelity.
