Yeah obviously; life is an example of digital information(since it is all based on fundamental units, which are the four bases, and, to a lower level, atoms, string particles), however, digital information is not necessarily life.
Being digital is a condition of life. Not everything digital is life, since non-life can also have the condition of being digital, you see?
