7. Digital Device vs Analog Device
Digital and analog really refers to a way of transferring and storing information
USB cables and sticks, HDMI connections, SD cards, CDs, and DVDs. All of these
contain information stored as a series of ones and zeros, which are transferred from
place to place using electricity
cassette tapes, records, television through an aerial antenna, basic telephones, and
most musical instruments were all analog.

Editor's Notes
A physical unit of equipment that contains a computer or microcontroller. Today, myriad devices are digital including a smartphone, tablet and smartwatch. In contrast, there are numerous non-digital (analog) devices, such as a thermometer, electric fan and bicycle.
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single metal-oxide-semiconductor integrated circuit chip. In modern terminology, it is similar to, but less sophisticated than, a system on a chip; a SoC may include a microcontroller as one of its components.
A microprocessor is a computer processor that incorporates the functions of a central processing unit on a single integrated circuit, or sometimes up to 8 integrated circuits
Most modern ways of transferring and storing information are digital: USB cables and sticks, HDMI connections, SD cards, CDs, and DVDs. All of these contain information stored as a series of ones and zeros, which are transferred from place to place using electricity
cassette tapes, records, television through an aerial antenna, basic telephones, and most musical instruments were all analog.
If your child is younger, probably a preteen, then digital devices may help to stimulate their senses and imaginative skills. Digital devices can help them to promote listening ability, various leaning sounds as well as speech. To keep them distracted, you can put on the cartoons on YouTube so that the child stays busy and does not disturb you for some time. There are also games for younger children that can help improve their imaginative and creative skills.
Encourage Analytical Skills
One of the other positive impacts digital devices can have on children is that these devices help encourage cognitive learning and also the development of analytical skills. As a result, children can develop innovative thinking and also investigation skills. Moreover, the use of digital devices may broaden their strategic thinking and creativity.
Enhance Technology Literacy
We’re living in the new age where every person is aware of using a digital device – be it a desktop computer, laptop, mobile phone or a tablet. Even the ones who’re not educated, they can use a digital device especially a mobile phone. Therefore, it’s really important to let children know how to use a digital device because the new age is all about technology. By using computers and other digital devices, children can build computer literacy and also improve manual dexterity.
Enhance Knowledge
The internet can be helpful to the children in a lot of ways. For instance, when they’re stuck somewhere while doing their homework, they can always turn to the internet to seek help regarding a certain topic. Technology helps enhance their knowledge about so many things. They can stay updated about their friends, new games, and other information on the internet.
Build Confidence
By playing their favorite video games on the internet, they can build confidence and develop a good hand-eye coordination. The challenging games allow them to move up different levels and gain high scores, as a result, they develop mathematical and engineering skills. Also, they also have a sudden motivation to meet their goals which can also help them much later in life.
