Fundamentally, digital communication involves the transfer of information between two people on the internet, or through a digital format. The message appears in the form of bits that has to decoded by a program before being able to get the message as intended by the sender. When sending a message, the sender puts it in bits. Each particular message has a specific number of bits, including start and stop bits (Martini and El-Aawar 344). When the receiver of the message reads it, he or she has to interpret all the bits so that the message could come out as it was intended. The pieces are arranged in frames, which depend on the preferred protocol. When the receiver gets the message, he or she has to follow the same protocol to get the message. In essence, the sender and receiver of the message have to share the same frame so that the message cannot be distorted. When one bit is removed from the frame, an error occurs, and the message is biased.
Framing errors can lead to several consequences. For instance, there was a time during my internship at the department of information and communication technology when I misread a serial communication. Notably, information at the Department was shared using serial communication. The bits were put into frames, which were then decoded by the reader. At one time, I failed to read a frame as it was intended. I had skipped a bit. The message was supposed to give instructions for me to go and fix the database system at the office of the human resource manager. However, I misinterpreted the message and went to the office of the finance director. As a result, the human resource department failed to meet the targets for the day. In fact, some of the tasks had to be pushed to the following day. I had compromised the duties of all the other people at the department because of my misinterpretation of the serial communication.
