Bits, signals and transmission methods

Bits, signals and transmission methods

Comparison of serial transmission on one data line and parallel transmission on eight data lines with skew at the receiver

Devices communicate by sending data as bits, not as a whole file in one instant. A sender places each bit onto a channel as a physical signal, and a receiver interprets that signal as 0 or 1.
