Sampling and reconstruction digital hardware, including computers, take actions in discrete steps. So they can deal with discretetime signals, but they cannot directly handle the continuoustime signals that are prevalent in the physical world. This distortion is commonly referred to as aliasing, a name suggestive of the fact that higher frequencies above half the sampling frequency take on the alias of lower frequencies.
