Abstract: The first point to clarify is the type of flow computer to be discussed- The term computer is one which is drastically overworked in our language and implies some mysterious and marvelous device to solve all of our problems. The Chinese had computers centuries ago, and their term was abacus. All of us utilized computers in our college engineering courses, but our term at that time was slide rule. Many of us, after college, advanced to a more elaborate computer known as a calculator, and today, even the calculators are more marvelous and silent since electrons are doing the counting.

In simplest terms, analog techniques are based on how much, while digital techniques are based on how many.
