Around the world, Muslims are becoming more connected by the Internet and modern communications.

On the Apple II, unlike modern computers that use standardized device drivers to manage device communications, the operating system directly controlled the step motor that moves the floppy drive head, and also directly interpreted the raw data called nibbles read from each track to find the data sectors.

Although originally designed for simple voice communications, most modern telephones have many additional capabilities.

In modern computing and communications a few control characters, such as carriage return and line feed, have retained their original functions ( although they are often implemented in software rather than activating electromechanical mechanisms to move a physical printer carriage ) but many others are no longer required and are used for other purposes.

As modern communications and travel made it less necessary to wait 4 months from Election Day to the swearing-in of the elected officials, it became increasingly cumbersome to elect officials in November but wait until March for them to take office.
