As the names imply, a serial port sends data on a small number of wires (often just two wires for the actual data), one bit after the other. A parallel port has many more wires used for data transmission, so many bits can be transmitted simultaneously. The big downside for a serial port is that the "bandwidth" (data bits per second) is very low compared to a parallel port running at the same rate.
BUT....parallel data busses have a problem. Electromagnetic interference causes "crosstalk" between the different bits on different data signal lines, and the faster the data rate, the worse the problem gets. Crosstalk causes data transmission errors to occur (a bad thing). So it can actually be a better solution to run a serial data connection at a very, very fast speed than to use a parallel data bus that will have to run at a lower speed (or use more expensive cables and circuitry).
In order to do this, each end of the computer bus will use a chip that contains a serial/parallel conversion circuit (SERial/DESerial, or SERDES). This allows the computers to operate on many bits in parallel (byes, words, etc.) but still transmit them in serial over a relatively cheap cable with high data rates.
there is no difference!! if you ask me it doesnt matter what keyboard you get they all do the same job, all have the same letters and numbers. but your not asking me your asking the person that has the best answer! all im saying is that all keyboards are good.
A keyboard is a serial due to it's typing ability in orange
Depends, is the device serial or parallel?
parallel
Some key differences between a Serial and Parallel Adder are that a Serial Adder is slower, a Parallel adder is a combinational circuit and the time required for addition depends on the number of bits in a Serial, but not a Parallel. A Serial Adder is a sequential circuit while a Parallel is a combinational circuit.
multiplexer can be used as parallel to serial converter.
RS-232 serial ports, Parallel ports, and PS2 mouse and keyboard ports. These days, all of these functions can be handled by Universal Serial Bus (USB ) connections.
Usually serial. Parallel is almost completely gone, and serial is getting replaced by USB.
Serial
how old is my baldwin keyboard serial number 91002/28
A "serial to parallel" converter converts a serial data connection to a parallel data connection. For example, in computer storage, there are controller chipsets that convert SATA (Serial ATA) to PATA (Parallel ATA, also called IDE or EIDE).
parallel
It is less costly to design ever faster serial lines than to create and build the necessary circuitry to keep faster parallel channels properly aligned. This is why Parallel ATA and Parallel SCSI have migrated to Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial SCSI (SAS).
the keyboard is connected to the computer because if you want to type on the computer then the key board has to be connected with the computer other whys you won't be able to type on the computer!!! Hope I Helped You!!!
