above described method steps such information which is often represented as a sequence of instructions to be executed using processor 612 may be received from and outputted to the network for example in the form of a computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave such information which may include data or instructions to be executed using processor 612 for example may be received from and outputted to the network for example in the form of a computer data baseband signal or signal embodied in a carrier wave the baseband signal or signal embodied in the carrier wave generated by the network connectivity devices 610 may propagate in or on the surface of electrical conductors in coaxial cables in waveguides in optical media for example optical fiber or in the air or free space the information contained in the baseband signal or signal embedded in the carrier wave may be ordered according to different sequences as may be desirable for either processing or generating the information or transmitting or receiving the information the baseband signal or signal embedded in the carrier wave or other types of signals currently used or hereafter developed referred to herein as the transmission medium may be generated according to several methods well known to one skilled in the art the processor 612 executes instructions codes computer programs scripts that it accesses from hard disk floppy disk optical disk these various disk based systems may all be considered secondary storage 602 rom 604 ram 606.
