Stamps = Digital
We all know why, if they are not on, no mail gets anywhere and once they have been validated, they are no longer useful

Ice = Analog
Although it might be thought that Ice can be digital, as it only appears pass the freezing point of water, which can be consider the on/off switch, Ice has a few qualities that makes it completely analog
1 - that freezing point, it depends on other variables, and it sits between 4 and 0 deg C. In my books that’s not a clear on/off switch
2 - it has a different density than water, which makes it “impossible” to figure out what volume it will occupy and how will it do it
3 - I feel it’s analog, just by looking at the picture :-)
Exams = Analog
Their effects are felt long before (stress, sleepless nights…) and long after the actual event (marks, access to future education…), so they are not just on or off
I personally think they are also analog due to the fact that they are never the same and also, their results are never the same for similar answers, unless they are multiple choice questions

AM = Analog
For both time keeping and radio frequency
Un-following = Analog
Following = Digital
Exiting = Analog
In the other hand, exiting is way more ambiguous. You might think that you are out, to discover a part of you is still in.
Entering = Digital
As you can figure out, either you are in (1) or you are not (0)
Monopoly = Analog
No matter how much of it you have, you won’t have it all (1)

Compromise = Analog
Because you can not get what you want (0), but you are still getting something (1)
UN = Analog
If you even need an explanation, then I have to only say, that no matter what the resolutions are, they are never black or white.
Amber Traffic Lights = Analog
They don’t really mean stop (0), but neither they mean to just go (1). If they are accompanied by a red light camera, they are still analog I believe.

Dictator’s names = Analog
Contrary to what you might think, they are long lasting and affect people at the time in different manners, so there is not a clear on/off effect. Some love them, some hate them. Other generations have a distorted image of them, they might be even indifferent to a close dirty past time.
Clearly their names are deep in our subconscious; a few:
Gaddafi, Franco, Pinochet, Castro, Mussolini, Kim Jong-il; some the clear ones, which are hard to forget.

Opinion Polls = Analog
Terribly variable and quite useless on a 24h news cycle, to be honest
Polling Rights = Digital
Either you have them or you don’t
