Despite no longer advertising my blog in my sig (at least outside the spoiler), my last entry got a lot of attention. This is another fact entry in a row. I'm not trying to spam the blog tree, but I am writing the last few entries that I would be interested to writing before the 25-entry mark for the month.
Now onto the subject:
In Chemistry, there are only two changes that we know. Physical changes are only when the physical attributes are affected. Chemical changes are only when the chemical composition changes. But according to Chemistry, what type of change isn't in? Since we're at the time the internet dominates humanity, there's another change I like to talk about.
Physical changes are only changes that neither change the chemical composition in any way nor takes place on a computerized device. If it's a change on the computer, it would be considered a digital change. All changes in data would be considered digital changes. Reason being is that it's not affecting the physical attributes of the computer or comuterized device, but it's more than what meets the eye.
List of examples:
There are more digital changes than what I named, but on the computer, you can do anything you can't in reality, as long as it's possible with the current computer technology we have.

List of examples:
- Deletion - it's impossible to completely get rid of anything in the real world. Even burning something or throwing something away mean they still exist, just in different forms. But on a computer, video game, or other devices in the digital world, it is possible to get rid of something completely. Like in Animal Crossing, when you choose to start a new town, you delete your town. It means your town is gone, but your 3DS's physical attributes are still unaffected. Or when you delete a file. Your computer is fine in the real world, but that's one less file in the digital world.
- Editing - that kinda sounds like a physical change, but it's more of a digital change. When you want to resize a picture, change the colors, rename something, or rewrite something, that would only be a digital change since you're only editing on the computer, not in real life. If you were doing that on a piece of paper, that would be more of a physical change.
- Creating a file - in real life, you have to use real resources to make something. But on a computer, you just only need some programs, and other than the limited number of gigabytes you have, you can create unlimited items through the computer. You don't need to use resources.
- Posting - of course, posting a message on the internet is a digital change because it's a change on the computer.
There are more digital changes than what I named, but on the computer, you can do anything you can't in reality, as long as it's possible with the current computer technology we have.
