Adjective: Relating to or using [|signals] or information represented by a continuously variable physical quantity such as spatial position or [|voltage]. In **analog technology **, a wave is recorded or used in its original form. So, for example, in an [|analog tape recorder] , a signal is taken straight from the [|microphone]  and laid onto tape. The wave from the microphone is an analog wave, and therefore the wave on the tape is analog as well. That wave on the tape can be read, amplified and sent to a [|speaker]  to produce the sound.

In general, humans experience the world analogically. Vision, for example, is an analog experience because we perceive infinitely smooth gradations of shapes and colors. When used in reference to [|data]  storage and transmission, analog format is that in which information is transmitted by [|modulating]  a continuous transmission signal, such as amplifying a signal's strength or varying its frequency to add or take away data.
