There are two methods of data transmission-Series and Parallel. Explain the difference between them.
The two methods of data transmission are Series and Parallel. The difference between the both are that series is much easier, economical and has the most simplest method for transferring digital information. In series, transmission is sent one bit at a time. This is preffered because it is not expensive. It can trabsfer data over long distances.

The Parallel data transmission tranmits all binary data and each part needs it's own path. All bits can be transferred at the same time and it can move a large amount in a period of time. The let down on this is the interconnecting cables between the 2 points.(Cabling=complicated and expensive).

Define the term URL? Explain the components that make up the URL?
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. This is the address of a website in the world wide web(the internet).
The components to make up a URL:

• A scheme: This identifies the protocol to access the resource.(it can be HTTP or HTTPS)
