Wireless is a method of connecting two or more machines together. It uses radio waves (Analogue signal, also known as Radio Frequency RF) to do this, cable, infra red and Bluetooth are in the same category of "Connection methods"
Digital is a method of sending data across the connection. All a digital signal is, is a collection of 1's (5v) and 0's (0v) put in to a sequence that a computer understands.
From here on in it gets a little more complicated as you can mix wireless and digital together.
So a Wireless link has both a Analogue signal with a Digital signal inside it, when a computer transmit across a wireless connection it imposes the analogue signal over the digital data, the receiving computer then strips the Analogue signal off just leaving the data to be read.
Sky digital or the Digital TV box works in the same way as the digital data is sent on an analogue radio frequency (RF) which the Digibox or Sky decoder gets rid of just leaving the digital data behind.
Bluetooth and Infrared both use the same idea but on different frequencies.
Hope this helps

Wireless refers to the sending of signals without wires, as in the way you listen to a radio or watch terrestrial or satellite television. In computers it uses a wireless card to communicate rather than a wired network card.
Digital is a method of transmission where the signals send a code along with a series of simple on/off signals which is the way a computer talks internally. This can be wired or wireless (also as in digital television). A non-digital (analog) signal uses continuous waves to send, in a computer these need to be converted back to digital in the machine when received.

Digital refers to the way data is transmitted & handled. Wireless means "without wires", ie. a wireless mouse doesn't use a cable, it uses radio instead.
Different things, nothing to compare. It's like saying what's the difference between "hot" and "doorstop".

Wireless refers to non-wired transmission eg infrared line of sight, cellular, microwave, satellite, packet radio and spread spectrum whereas digital refers to discrete values usually electrical voltages either on/off or 1/0

Radio-based systems that allow transmission of information without a physical connection, opposed to transmission systems, that require a physical connection, such as copper wire or optical fiber.
digital means that information is stored or process in forms of zero and one which is called the binary language.

WIreless is a radio freq, and digital is either a direct cable line, or translate to how the signals are converted

they are completely different. you can't really compare the 2
