Sarah is trying to compress an image of her family vacation to send to her grandmother via email. The image is large, and Sarah doesn’t mind if the quality of the image is slightly reduced to make the file smaller.

Analog data can be turned into digital data by using a process called sampling (sampling technique). This means measuring the values of the analog signals at regular intervals. These measurements (or samples) are then converted into digital data by determining how many bits are needed to store each sample.
In your own words explain what you understand by the terms analog and digital signals!!
