built with the same level of technology, analog computers are always faster but less accurate than digital computers. however as little significant work on analog computers has been done since the 1980s, they currently significantly lag behind digital computers in speed.
The CD could hold more sectors of data thus allowing for an improvement in Personal Computers.
The embedded system was invented in the mid 1980s. However, it was not really used in personalized computers and robots until the mid 90s.
