6. What is the difference between "serial processing" and "parallel processing"?

Answer 1

Serial: Steps happen one-by-one in a specific order.
Parallel: Multiple steps can happen at the same timel.

Answer 2

Pain is a physical feeling, like when you break a bone, or get a toothache, or when you go into labor to have a child, even your stomach, when you get hunger pains. This is all connected to your nerves, which act as sensors and send messages to your brain, and you have the physical reaction. Suffering is similar, but not the same thing. Say you have a toothache, that's the pain part of it, but the suffering would come when you can't go to the dentist to have it fixed, and you have to suffer with the pain, and possibly the infection. There are other levels of suffering as well, like when you lose someone you loved very much, the pain of that loss causes your heart to endure this, and it can take a long time to heal, or never heal at all. Suffering happens over a long period of time, or what can seem to be an eternity. Hope this helps, good luck.

Answer 3

serial processing - sequential processing - one step needs to happen before going to the next step

parallel processing - 2 different process or step can happen at the same time.
