The real question is how much does the brain tell the eyes? Auh Auh See how I just flipped it around like that and all of a sudden it profound.

Actually, you're thinking of the difference between 10baseT, 100baseTX, and 1000baseTX (twisted pair terminated with RJ45 connectors to the standard T568A or T568B, or "the big phone cord looking wire"). While this is the most common type of network installation (due to low cost and ease of installation/maintenance), it can be (and is) also implemented using coax and twinax ("cable TV wire" and "WTF is THAT stuff?" respectively). The phrase "ethernet" actually refers to the link layer (mostly) (layer 2, the layers in descending order are application, transport, network, link, and physical). In principal, a higher layer is agnostic about how a lower layer is implemented, so the link layer doesn't really care what sort of wiring it is on or what sort of switching equipment is used. Y'know, as long as we're doing the pedantic detail thing ;-)

Actually, neurons and optic nerves are quite digital... The fire or don't fire.However, they have a bit of analog to them because of the amount or intensity of information that is transfered between the neuron receptors. This can of course be changed by chemicals in your blood that either blocks these receptors (like alcohol) or enhances them to an extreme (like meth).
