In this media-drenched, multitasking, always-on age, many of us have forgotten how to unplug and immerse ourselves completely in the moment. We have forgotten how to slow down. Not surprisingly, this fast-forward culture is taking a toll on everything from our diet and health to our work and the environment.

WHAT DOES ALWAYS-ON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

High availability

High availability is a characteristic of a system. The definition of availability is Ao = up time / total time. This equation is not practically useful, but if is substituted for up time then you have Ao = / total time. Determining tolerable down time is practical. From that, the required availability may be easily calculated. High availability system design approach and associated service implementation that ensures a prearranged level of operational performance will be met during a contractual measurement period. There are three principles of high availability engineering. They are 1. Elimination of single points of failure. This means adding redundancy to the system so that failure of a component does not mean failure of the entire system. 2. Reliable crossover. In multithreaded systems, the crossover point itself tends to become a single point of failure. High availability engineering must provide for reliable crossover. 3. Detection of failures as they occur. If the two principles above are observed, then a user may never see a failure. But the maintenance activity must. Modernization has resulted in an increased reliance on these systems.
