If you really want to get technical. At the most basic level, the universe appears to be digital due to being comprised of discrete quanta.
Digital electronics, however, are actually a convenient myth. There is no 'digital', it's all actually analogue, being used in a way that simulates digital.
So, what we though was an analogue universe is really digital at it's most basic level and the electronics we think of as digital are really analogue at their most basic level.

Isn't that perverse?
