      Har har.

      Different senses of the word digital. The dvd is digital as in “made discrete and not analog”.

      I meant in the sense of “to move off of fixed use physical media and translate to a format more agnostic to storage medium or conducive to transfer and immediate processing”.

      More succinctly: to copy something to a storage medium that’s harder to loose under the couch.

      You can’t hold something in your hand if it’s digital.
