We commonly know refer to something 'digital' has to something electronic that can be visibly seen such as a watch, clock, camera, screen, etc. It really refers to stored energy or electricity that's not natural. But the word 'digital' in science refers to the depiction of data or information in figures (such as in a table) in contrast to as a chart, graph, drawing, or other pictorial form.

Explanation:

The scientific use of the term digital is much changed from the current use because the term digital in science is a way of representing a discontinuous phenomenon or something this is just finite and faulty. It also describes a data in figures with the use of this term. While “digital” generally refers to electronics in general, the scientific explanation of digital is much different
