What is Synchronization?
[[File:Firefighters in Parade.jpg|thumb|[[Marching]] in a parade is synchronized.]] '''Synchronization''' is the [[wikt:coordination|co-ordination]] of a [[set]] of events into a [[system]] that works according to [[time]]. For example, a [[Conducting|conductor]] of an [[orchestra]] serves to keep the orchestra ''in time'', or ''synchronized''. Systems that operate with all their parts in synchrony are said to be ''synchronous'' or ''in sync''. In synchronization, time and [[wikt:order|order]] are important. It is used in many everyday systems, including those in [[transport]], [[computer science]], [[music]], [[multimedia]] and [[telecommunication]]. Today, synchronization can be done across the world due to [[digital signal]]s and [[Global Positioning System|GPS]]-enabled time-keeping systems. == Related pages == {{enWiktionary}} * [[Atomic clock]] * [[Flywheel]] * [[Time]] * [[Tuning fork]] * [[Race condition]] * [[Synchronization (computer science)]] == Other websites == * [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/synchronizing%20 Dictionary Definitions] [[Category:Time]]
