I've owned this tshirt for a while now but never quite understood what exactly it means.

Please save me from my 'I am Analog' ignorance.

It clearly represents the racism in today's media that was catapulted into the stratosphere by the epic Lousiana Purchase. Throughout history, man had wonder the same question you ask yourself, and, irregardless, the polyatomic molecules present in many chemicals does not withstand subnuclear g force.

It depends on how you look at it. "Analog" or "analogue" are usually just words meaning similar. Notice the same prefix as "analogy." When taken in the context of computers however, analog refers to a machine based on measurements of an existing physical object, i.e. something "real." This is as opposed to "digital" which refers to something totally abstract, formless data and the like. My take of the shirt is a statement that you exist. That you are an individual, a being that may be quantified, but can never be wholly represented by numbers in a database.

This is my favorite Threadless shirt.

Meaning:

Analog: Prefer your old walk-man than MP3 playres, prefer vinyls than CD. Prefer 8mm, 16mm videotapes or VHS or BETA format than DVD, prefer your big, bold and old TV than PlasmaTV.

Maybe a mix of nostalgia and fear of technology.
