...heart of the new features are computer circuits that change standard analog TV signals, which are broadcast as a series of undulating waves, into digital impulses -- strings of 0s and 1s. The digital signals can then be transformed by microprocessors -- tiny computers on silicon chips -- to achieve a variety of exotic effects. When the processing is complete, the signals are changed back to analog for display on an ordinary TV picture tube...

...enhanced when an entirely new transmission technology, known as the Integrated Services Digital Network, is put into place across the U.S. Currently, most phone service is based on analog transmission, in which voices and data are carried by ordinary electric currents. ISDN uses a dense stream of digital signals: 0s...

...simplest and most common combination of the gates is the half-adder, which is designed to add two Is, a 1 and a 0, or two 0s (see diagram). If other half-adders are linked to the circuit, producing a series of what computer designers call full adders, the additions can be carried over to other columns for tallying up ever higher numbers. Indeed, by using only addition, the computer can perform the three other arithmetic functions. Multiplication is often accomplished by repeated additions, division by repeated subtractions. Subtraction, on the other hand, can be done by an old trick...
