1. analog

   Analog refers to a system or device that represents data using a directly proportional physical quantity or mechanism, such as voltage or frequency. It is commonly used in contrast with digital, which represents data as discrete values. The term, originating from analogy, is often associated with signals or information that varies continuously over time, such as analog watches or record players.
