how computers keep track of time using a network of time servers that synchronize with each other. how important it is for computers to agree on the correct time so that communication can work properly.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
two different times, one written and one stamped, can appear to be the same despite the fact that they are actually different. This is because they come from the same source, a networked time server maintained by Apple Computer called time.apple.com. This server synchronizes the clocks of Apple users around the world using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), which sends a message containing the current time and how long it took to transmit the message between two points on the network. The protocol is organized into layers or "strata" of time servers, each of which receives the correct time from the layer above and sends it to the layer below.
communication networks depend on accurate timekeeping, and the correct time is essential for communication to be effective. The article explores the idea of time as a medium rather than a measure, and how different people can have different perspectives on the present moment.
How are these information related to the first part of article???? I am confused
discusses how time is measured and the three parts of a clock: the resonator, power source, and display. The author uses examples from art and philosophy to explore the concept of time and concludes by noting the paradox that time can only be measured by movement.
communication technologies have changed over time, from writing to printing to screen-based media, and how these changes have affected the way people view themselves and derive personal authority.
