The Digital Age in an Analog World
Loading...
Uploaded by bigthink on May 31, 2011
Breaking the analog world into zeros and ones results in some loss of information, but it allows for an infinite number of exact replications.

@gokuo64 file copying does not work this way, take for example this, we have file "A" based on your understanding File "A" becomes file"AB" and file "AB" becomes file "AC"so on and so on, it doesnt work this way if you Copy file "A" or downloaded it, File "A" becomes file "A" there are no zeros or ones lost in the process .you can download File "A" millions or billions of times and there will be no difference who ever you got this information from is a idiot

But, if you go back to real analog, then you get infinite information back because if free space a mixer can hold infinite information, but the digital can only compress though routine.

@ryangemini24 Knock knock.

@gokuo64 Youtube videos from 2005 and 2006 were never crystal clear.

@technatezin It's hard to convey sarcasm through youtube comment. My point was, you just wrote what he said so...
-
@Windbringer Yeah, right. Listen carefully to what Michio Kaku said in the clip. If you don't understand it the first time then listen to it over again. I'm sure it will come to you after a while.
Information loss is not an issue when digital reproduction goes beyond the resolution size of what the intended audience could reasonably detect upon reception of the information.

@technatezin That's actually was not the point at all. =)
