In my computer networking class, my teacher said that a serial cable can move a lot of data at one time but it can't move it very fast but fiber optic can move a lot of data and move it really fast. What does he mean that it can move a lot of data but not very fast? If it can't move data very fast, doesn't that mean that it can't move very much data at once?
I'm not really sure how smart my teacher actually is, he seems kinda dumb. Just a sidenote.What is the difference between moving a lot of data and moving data fast?
its simple really a serial connection is like a four lane highway during rush hour, lots of cars(data) but moving slowly. a fiber optic connection would be like a high speed train(lots of speed but less data).What is the difference between moving a lot of data and moving data fast?
Sounds like he was trying to highlight the difference between serial and parallel, although badly.What is the difference between moving a lot of data and moving data fast?
Fiber optic cable is the new "thing". Think of serial cable as the basic choice for connections.
