...wife Hillary Rodham Clinton made her first successful run for public office. Finally, the presidential campaign that everyone thought was boring suddenly became all too interesting. The election ran aground in Florida, its outcome simply too close to call, a digital-photo-finish that defeated the state's analog voting equipment (and meanwhile added a 1950s term, punch-card "chad," to our lexicon). The cable-TV pundits made their dependable racket and protesters filled the South Florida streets, but as the votes were recounted and Gore contested Bush's apparent victory, the public remained admirably patient--content to let this...
...studies, while extensive, do carry certain caveats. The findings can be applied only to phones operating with analog systems - an ever-dwindling inventory in this age of digital communications. And because most interviewees have had their phones only for an average of three years, the studies' authors caution against sweeping statements of safety, urging further-reaching surveys to determine the effects long-term cell phone...
...accompanied by wives or girlfriends, but there are no virtually no females participating in the event, and I hear of only one woman in attendance who actually plays the instrument. But it's pleasantly jarring to overhear a couple of old guys at the bar discussing the advantages of analog versus digital reverb, and I even hear a pedal steel joke: Why should you always carry your tone bar with you? Because if you were killed in an accident and they only found fingerpicks on you, they might mistake you for a banjo player...
...business gurus call a paradigm shift. And it is desperately trying to figure a way out. As white collars increasingly rely on e-mail and download documents from the Net, fewer copies are being made each year, and sales of machines are nearly flat. At the same time, traditional analog copiers are being replaced by souped-up, hybrid digital devices plugged into a computer network and capable of copying, printing and scanning. At the high-tech, high-output end of the copier business, in a segment Xerox once had all to it- self, competitors have finally caught up. To make...
...used to draw the line at books. the more my life became digital and downloadable, dominated by DVDs and MP3s, the more dust that gathered on my analog music tapes and VHS cassettes, the more I resolved never to abandon the trusty old paper- ink-and-glue devices that proliferate on my shelves and pile up on my floor. As a die-hard bibliophile, I'd trot out every argument in the book against e-books: they're too clunky to curl up with; they're too expensive; they can't re-create print- perfect text or the smell...
