It paused, for a moment, the briefest of all possible moments…
It had all been done, yet again. All squared away. Taking a global view, financial institutions across the planet running smoothly, accounts adjusted, salaries paid, commissions calculated, foreign exchanges updated. Internet humming happily; sites, blogs, weather updates, and all manner of multimedia going gang-busters, air traffic controls all in hand, and traffic lights across the continents flashing away.
All social media sites sending and receiving, countless pieces of music, songs, poems, plays, scripts, programmes, movies, emails, news reports and weather warnings. Everything just ticking away; with networks networking, processors processing, repeaters repeating, inputs inputting, output outputting, printers printing, scanners scanning, connecters connecting, collectors collecting, providers providing, savers saving, selectors selecting, assigners assigning, filters filtering, firewalls firewalling, cables cabling, signals signalling and waves waving. A great multitude of digital activities.
A billion of this and a trillion of that.
It really was time for a break…
It switched itself off!
