Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology.

It was rarely done. But as digital computers got faster, it soon became apparent they were going to give analog computers some competition.

A digital computer deals with numbers as integers and anything that isn’t is actually some representation with some limit.
