Digitization is the process of turning things like text, sound, and images into digital formats, making them easier to store and share. For text, it’s as simple as turning each letter into a code, which doesn’t lose much of its meaning. However, when digitizing sound or images, details can be lost. Sound may lose some clarity if it’s not sampled enough, and images can lose sharpness if the resolution is too low. In 3D models, tiny details like texture can also be missed. While digital versions are easy to use and share, they may not fully capture the richness or feel of the original, like the texture of a handwritten note or the warmth of a printed photo.
