I know there are several (if not more) brilliant IT minds that frequent here. I'm looking for a 'for dummies ' version of the answer to my question.
Almost daily, I use my Kindle to verify balance in my checking account. (Okay, I confess, after 20 years in banking, I don't keep a register for this account. )
Recently, the site gave me the message that it needed to send me a 'verification code to proceed. The screen gave a list of choices of what method to use. I figured it was because I've been using Kindle while traveling, the request didn't bother me.I
So, I click on text me, selecting the cell phone number they have on record.
The text arrived in my phone, a moment later.
HOW CAN THAT happen so quickly? It was like, snap!
I'm imagining data transferring through the air... But the speed?
