Future for Analog and Digital Electronics
This question is for ElectroBOOM, but curious to know your guys opinions as well. Open for discussion. In short, where do you see Analog Electronics in the near future, as many parts of the industry move towards Digital Electronics?
I have been following ElectroBOOM's channel for a couple of years now and gotten into electronics and electrical engineering because of him. During college, I noticed the move from analog towards digital electronics and programming is quite popular. I'm told that most electronics move to digital and such as it is much easier/simpler compared to analog/discrete components and circuits. They say in the future, most things would move to digital eventually.
I watched a lot of Mehdi's videos, especially his older ones, and know he preferably works with analog/discrete components rather than computer programming. I find myself in the same boat as well, and like to work with discrete ICs, op-amps, comparators, etc. Thus I like to hear your opinion, if analog electronics can still hold up in the industry today. Seeing the rise of technology today, do you think analog would still be seen in the market/industry in the future?
Side tangent here:
I, for one, am not the biggest fan when it comes to code. I just can't seem to find an interest and wrap my head around, which is why I preferably like to work with discrete components, even though it can get too complex. I find it off-putting when I want to design some circuit for a project, and then look online and see that many achieve it just by programming a microcontroller. I like being able to see and assemble a circuit with physical components. That is also why I liked his ElectroBOOM101 series, especially the OpAmp and Transistor Episodes.
