Digital organisms, while not necessarily any more alive than a phone book, are strings of code that replicate and evolve over time. Digital codes are strings of binary digits - bits.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Biology - DNA - is technology. It is coding. It is physical coding, but still code.
We live in a digital world, but we're fairly analog creatures.
The word 'code' turns out to be a really important word for my book, 'The Information.' The genetic code is just one example. We talk now about coders, coding. Computer guys are coders. The stuff they write is code.
I'm fascinated by the idea that genetics is digital. A gene is a long sequence of coded letters, like computer information. Modern biology is becoming very much a branch of information technology.
It's - as opposed to tape where you have a magnetic tape that's excited by frequencies that you hit, digital was a process where musical sounds are transferred to numbers and stored as numbers.
Digital data are more fragile than printed material.
Digital makes things feel more real, like you could reach out and touch them.
In a biological system, the software builds its own hardware, but design is critical, and if you start with digital information, it has to be really accurate.
The idea behind digital computers may be explained by saying that these machines are intended to carry out any operations which could be done by a human computer.
There's a lot of things lost in the Digital Age.
