Why is data lost when analog data is converted to binary (i.e. is digitalised)?

Asked by julia999 (343points) November 10th, 2009

When analog is converted to digital data, some data can be lost. What sort of data is it, and why is it lost? Is it because analog accounts for different sorts of information?
