It wasn\u2019t that long ago that we lived in an entirely analogue world. From telephones to televisions and books to binders, digital technology was largely relegated to the laboratory.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
But during the 1960s, computing had started to make its way into the back offices of larger organisations, performing functions like accounting, payroll and stock management. Yet, the vast majority of systems at that time (such as the healthcare system, electricity grids or transport networks) and the technology we interacted with were still analogue.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roll forward a generation, and today our world is highly digital. Ones and zeroes pervade our lives. Computing has invaded almost every aspect of human endeavour, from health care and manufacturing, to telecommunications, sport, entertainment and the media.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Take smartphones, which have been around for less than a decade, and consider how many separate analogue things they have replaced: a street directory, cassette player, notebook, address book, newspaper, camera, video camera, postcards, compass, diary, dictaphone, pager, phone and even a spirit level!<\/p>\n
