History and evolution of information
transmission techniques.
Serial transmission
Serial ports (also called RS-232, by the
name of the standard to which they
refer) were the first interfaces that
allowed computers to exchange
information with the "outside world".
The serial term refers to the data sent
by a single wire: the bits are sent one
after the other (see the section on data
transmission to know the transmission
modes).
Parallel transmission
