The problem was that there was a mismatch between the way the telephone system worked and the way computers and their ancillary devices communicated. The telephone network was essentially a set of switches for creating connections between one telephone and another. In the early days, the nodes of the network were actually called 'switchboards' because operators manually plugged wires into sockets to set up physical connections between subscribers. Later the operators were replaced by banks of electromechanical switches in buildings known as telephone 'exchanges', and later by fully electronic ones.

The diagram represents a single 10 millisecond (ms) interval. Each partition gets a percentage of the execution dispatch time on the processors in the pool, based on its capacity assignment. Do not worry as we will come back to this later. This page is here to give you some basic terminology until we reach the advanced processor topic later in this course.

Focus acts much as camera does, choosing what we can look at the the angle at which we can view it, framing, proportioning, emphasizing - even distorting. Whereas plot is a structure that arranges cause and effect as well as time, focus arranges space and measures the distance or closeness of narrator, characters, and readers."
That's from the textbook for Intro to Literature.
