Digital just adds more layers of abstraction before it reaches you and your message goes out to wherever. And there’s more signal stuff around it.

I can see my notepad. I can move it around, I could put paint on my fingers and touch it to draw something.

On a computer, I hit keys and they send a signal through the machine with a bunch of stuff going on before it appears on the screen. The computer might have some issues and then, even if I hit the keys nothing happens or something unexpected. And when I break the screen it’s not on the screen anymore, but somehow still there and went god knows where on the way.

The notepad is a lot simpler.
