GN Focus: What Is Your Reaction Time? - John A Halford - August 1984

John A Halford

The incredibly powerful computer we use to help us do the work of God's Church today has a serious handicap. It is too slow. To be fair, not all parts of our computer are too slow. You probably know that a computer is actually several different machines linked together. The part that does the computing is called the central processing unit, or CPU. You can't really accuse a CPU of being slow. It operates in units of time called nanoseconds - one billionth of a second. If you could take a step every nanosecond, you could walk around the earth 23 times in one second. So, if our computer is too slow, you can hardly blame the CPU. No, the fault lies with the other equipment. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
