Computers systems have internal real-time clocks that are notoriously poor at keeping accurate time. Hence, the time on all computers and network devices can drift away from one another at different rates. This can be a real headache when trying to synchronise time-critical processes.
Without the Ethernet modern commerce couldn’t function. Our modern economy is heavily reliant on the fast, smooth transfer of data. I find it odd that the inventors of the networking system that allows this to occur are only known to computer geeks.

An error-detection code can be used to detect errors during transmission. The detected error can not be corrected, but its presence is indicated. The usual procedure is to observe the frequency of errors. If errors occur so often so as to distort the meaning of the received information, the system is check for malfunction.
Data centres are becoming an increasing problem for the IT industry. They take up a lot of physical space, they use a lot of energy and they’re not particularly environmentally friendly. They are, however, essential to business, so over the last few years IT companies have been frantically trying to come up with innovative, cost effective and energy efficient solutions to the thorny issue of data centres.
Microchips have long been subject to Moore’s Law, which has been misinterpreted and stretched to its limits. New developments could see the law stretch even further as chips grow in stacks and venture into the realm of 3-D.
