What is digitization? Digitization is the process of converting information into a digital format. In this format, information is organized into discrete units of data called bits that can be separately addressed, usually in multiple-bit groups called bytes. This is the binary data that computers and many devices with computing capacity, such as digital cameras and digital hearing aids, can process. Digitization gained popularity in the late 20th century with the advent of PCs and the internet.
