Morse Code: How Gaming Has Changed Data Communication

1094 Words5 Pages

How Gaming has changed data communication - Its long since the day of dits and dahs back in 1844. Morse code, something we only see in old fashioned movies but back then this was the biggest breakthrough in terms of long distance communication. Morse code works by either a 1 or 0. 1 for on and 0 for off. unfortunately there were a few drawbacks to morse code including the necessity for skilled operators with the ability to work long tedious hours. From this point on the development of data communication has grown exponentially.
Several decades later (1876) Alexander Graham was granted his patent for the telephone which two years later was being implemented for public use. The first exchange was located in New Haven, Connecticut. The company …show more content…

Include where synchronous communications would typically be used.

Synchronous Transmission/Communication - Synchronous transmission works by sending data as one long stream of bits or a block (called frames or packets) of data. In synchronous transmission, each bit gets sent one after another with fixed time intervals. When the receiver of the transmission gets thier bits they reconstruct them into bytes. Timing is an integral part of synchronous data transmission as accuracy depends on the receiver keeping count of bits as they are received (synchronized with the sender).. Synchronous is used where time is a factor. Instant messaging, video or voice calls and even satellite transmissions for Cable TV. The reason synchronous is used in these applications is because it is fast and reliable since it runs of a clock signal making it great for other time-sensitive applications as well. VoIP and audio/video streaming also use synchronous transmission because they require a large amount of data to be sent very quickly. The only way to obtain these prerequisites is by using synchronous communication. …show more content…

Some examples of synchronous include voice or video calling. These rely on synchronous because the speed in which packets need to flow in order to view and transmit video is too large for asynchronous to allow. Synchronous is also important to keep the video live otherwise talking would be incredibly difficult. Facebook and skype offer an interface for your instant video and text messaging. Network devices like NICs, switches, routers and WAPs all use synchronous communication. Behind the scenes (in wireshark) you would see packets flying inbound and outbound; this makes scenes because when using networks, reliability and speed could cost a large business a lot of

The SIFS( Shortest Inter-Frame Space),derives the time between the last transmission and high priority transmissions such as positive acknowledgments(ACKs),Clear-To-Send(CTS)frames,polling responses, continuation frames in a burst transmission. priority is given to the positive ACK frames so that a station which has just completed the reception of a frame can give immediate feedback to the sender. RTS and CTS frame coordinate correspondence between sets of stations so that different stations know not the medium to be free for the time of the exchange .This is one of the reasons for why the control frames have priority over normal data transmissions. If a station finished transmitting a frame and has enough time left to send an additional frame, it is allowed to send after a SIFS.

There are three possible ways in which data is transferred: • Server Server: Used for fast, large-volume communications between servers • Server Storage: This is the default with storage devices. The advantage is that the same storage device may be accessed serially or concurrently by multiple servers. • Storage Storage: Enables data to be moved without server intervention, thereby freeing up server processor cycles for other activities like application processing. Examples include a disk device backing up its data, to a tape device without server intervention, or remote device mirroring across the SAN.

How and why does a thread move from the ready state to the running state? How and why does a thread move from the running state to the blocked state? How and why does a thread move from the blocked state to the ready state? A thread moves from the ready to running after it has been dispatched by the scheduler. The scheduler is the decision maker for preemptive scheduling, priority based scheduling, and real-time scheduling.

Answer 16: Frame relay would automatically assume that fiber-optics will be used and there will be no errors. It uses the do nothing form of error control. Answer 17: One packet can be sent using Stop-and-wait protocol at one time. Answer 18: The ACK in Stop-and-wait protocol acknowledges that there have been no errors during transmission of data.

In event-driven systems every action an OS has to perform is triggered by an event (e.g., a timer, an interruption indicating new sensor readings or an incoming radio packet). The multi-threaded OS multiplexes execution time between the different tasks, implemented as threads. While switching from one thread to another, the current context has to be saved and the new context must be restored. As I have done my extensively on TinyOS so further I will discuss about TinyOS.

The telegraph changed the face of communication. At the time, in order to communicate, you had to ride miles and miles to get somewhere, and then go all the way back. Because of the invention of the telegraph this changed. Using the telegraph and typing in morse code, even though it took long, was much faster than delivering letters. This made military work much more efficient by subtracting the cause of having to waste time trying to send letters back and forth through horse travel.

In 1832, a New York University professor developed his version of the telegraph including his own Morse code. As the telegraph started improving it made delivering messages much faster. When reading the article Imagining the Internet you learn “It took days, weeks and even months for messages to be sent from one location to a far-flung position. After the telegraph cable was stretched from coast to coast in the 1850’s, a message from New York to London could be sent in mere minutes, and the words suddenly became smaller.” (Imaging the Internet- Telegraph)

Samuel B. Morse later invented the telegraph in 1836. The telegraph worked by a series of dots and dashes which could be transmitted electrically. The first telegraph service opened was 8 years later between Baltimore and Washington D.C. It began to expand as well as the railroad industry did. Later that decade Alexander Graham Bell invented the

The telephone was created by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Bell says, “it has revolutionized communications throughout the United States, Britain and the World.” This invention literally changed humanity forever, it revolutionized the way people pass on information. Anywhere from a household to the battlefields, this invention affected so many lives. The steam engine was (re)invented by James Watt in 1769.

To be an ideal leader takes a lot of work and is nearly impossible. Ralph was elected leader in the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding and in the novel, Ralph’s continuing struggles result in failure. Ralph could not maintain a sense of civilization, could not keep the boys working together, nor could he keep his position as chief, which results in his overall failure. Ralph’s struggle to keep the boys working together to survive failed and added on to his overall failure.

The invention of the telephone also distant areas. Many inventors were trying to use electricity to send the human voice over wire, but it was Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson who succeeded. On March 10, 1876, Bell spoke through his "talking telegraph" to his assistant down the hall. " Mr. Watson, come here. I want you," Bell said.

From the source “The Effect of Morse Code and the Telegraph on American History” written by author Ruby Niederhauser, she stated— “Without them, we would not be where we are today, financially, politically, socially, or technologically. They connect people together regardless of location. This created the epicenters of finance, politics and communication. The telegraph also formed a foundation on which technology, such as the telephone, could build on. Without Morse code or the telegraph, we would not be as connected
