Parallel v. serial operation: In the context of the Internet and computing, parallel means more than one event happening at a time and serial means only one event happening at a time. Serial connection, operation and media usually indicate a simpler, slower operation. Parallel connection and operation indicates faster operation. Conventional computers and their programs operate in a serial manner, with the computer reading a program and performing its instructions one after the other. Computers with multiple processors are much faster because they divide up the instructions and perform them in parallel.
