Intro sentences and ACM quote?
editThe first few sentences of this article are a close paraphrase of the ACM Block quote in the "definition" section immediately following. To have nearly identical text twice in a row, once quoted and once not, feels jarring and redundant. I'm not sure exactly how to fix this. Is there a problem with just using the ACM quote to start the article, but adding wikilinks to the topics? Otherwise I'd say just rewrite those first few sentences from scratch. They can probably be clearer and shorter anyway. Emeraldemon (talk) 20:06, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Odd link in the Computer Network section
editThat section's first sentence contained a link to the Absolute (philosophy) article, when the topic is actually computer connection. That seems like quite a logical jump to me. I think a link to Computer network would be much more appropriate. I changed it.

Networks, telegraph and radio signals, and bad weather like cloud interfearance
editWe know telegraph networks exist from late 16th or early 17th century, and also radio is included in communications in late 19th century, but it is expected ot have very strong signaling because bad weather interferes to the connectivity, I think this obstructive to modern technology ideas for clouds should be forbidden.
