What Is Line?

Line (actually a straight line), together with point, is a basic concept of elementary geometry.
The idea of line is an abstraction that distills our intuition that a straight line is the shortest way
between two points. However, we distinguish between a line and a line segment. A line segment
includes the endpoints, i.e. the points that it joins. The line through the two points continues
beyond these points indefinitely.

The absence of the endpoints is often hinted to by drawing arrows:

In the (Euclidean) plane lines are subject to a dichotomy: two distinct lines either intersect or are
parallel. Two lines that intersect define a unique point - the point of intersection. The point of
intersection lies on (or belongs to) both lines. Parallel lines have no common points.

Every point on a line divides the line into two parts. These are called rays. A ray is a piece of a
line with one endpoint. (Rays are used in defining angles.)

Rays and line segments are said to be parallel if the lines they are parts of are parallel. Rays and
line segments are not subject to the dichotomy. Not parallel rays or line segments need not
intersect:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with sides on two pairs of parallel lines.

A line is any device to communicate either with voice or data. A four-line contract can consist
of for telephones or two telephones and two iPads or two telephones one iPad and one
LTE/USB dongle for the computer.

Align essentially refers to a device that communicates on the cell towers. If a single device
handles voice and data and other services it is still a single line. If you have two devices and
one is only voice, and one is on the data, then it is still two lines because you have two
devices.

The exception to this, is tethering . Tethering only has one device communicating to the cell
tower, and all other devices communicate to that one device. The most common form of
tethering today is a form of wireless tethering that may be referred to as cellular access point
for wireless access point, where you share your Internet via Wi-Fi to any other devices that
connect to your phone‘s Wi-Fi. This Is still tethering, and so you still only pay for a single line
( or device)

Line Types
First of all, a line is simply a fluid connection between two or more points. It seems like there
is an endless supply of differing types of lines, from thin lines to thick lines, short lines to long
lines, wavy lines to straight lines. But just like everything in design — or in life — there are
some basic lines that we need to understand.
 Literal line – A literal line is just that, a line. It’s the visual or actual line you see.
 Implied line – This type of line is the “imaginary” line that your mind instantly creates
by connecting dots or elements together. The best example of this is a dotted line.
  Psychic line – This type of line is another “imaginary” line that differs slightly from
implied line in that psychic lines are generally used to create eye direction form one
element to the next. A great example of this in web is a photo of a person looking in a
particular direction, or a series of arrows.
 Contour lines – Contour lines are mainly used to define edges and create boundaries
of elements. This type of line is probably the line type mostly used or seen in web
design, borders being a classic example.
 Dividing lines – Dividing lines divide space and are commonly implied lines that are
used to divide content areas such as the dividing spaces between columns of text.
 Decorative lines – This type of line is generally used to add something to an element:
texture, depth, shading, function or any other decorative embellishment. The most well
know decorative lines in web design is the underline under a text link.

How mobile phones work[

When a mobile phone is switched on, its radio receiver finds a nearby mobile phone network
base station, and its transmitter sends a request for service. Computers in the base station check
if the phone is allowed to use the network. The base station covers an area called a cell. A phone
can move between different cells, but will only communicate with one cell at a time. This is why
mobile communications are sometimes called cellular communications.
Once connected to a station, the mobile phone can make calls. Because the network knows that
the phone is connected to that particular cell, it can also route calls to the mobile phone.
Sometimes the radio connection to the cell is lost, for example when you go underground. This
means the phone cannot make or receive calls until the connection is made again.
