    The document discusses parallel and serial data transmission. Parallel transmission sends multiple bits or bytes simultaneously over multiple wires. Serial transmission sends one bit at a time over a single wire. Some benefits of parallel transmission are faster speeds, while benefits of serial transmission include lower implementation costs. Examples of parallel transmission applications include graphics cards and RAM access. Serial transmission is used for applications like USB and serial ports.
