The importance of one or the other in the future will depend on the sector and each job, but as we have seen, soft skills will revolve around communication and adaptation , two keys that explain why human beings have come so far. For years there are two constants about which the user has complained or appreciated on the network. One is speed, the easiest to see, both due to its absence and whether expectations are fulfilled. The other, slightly more invisible, is latency . For certain types of users, such as fans of online video games, it has always been a critical factor.
Others only notice it in certain apps, like a video call. And these two factors have been worked on for years . In the case of speed, to increase it, and in the case of latency, in the opposite direction, to decrease it. The effects have been photo editor notorious, especially if you look back. Although the signal delay is a less visible aspect than the speed of the connection, the improvement is crystal clear with the figures. Drastic latency reduction.
If we go back to the first mobiles — there was still time for smartphones and we were still only talking about calls — the comparison with current times is almost implausible. Since 2G, the GSM-GPRS that we had at the end of the 90s, latency has been reduced by a factor of almost 1,000 times , highlights José Antonio Portilla, professor at the University of Alcalá in the Department of Signal Theory and Communications, spokesperson for the COIT.Official College of Telecommunications Engineers. and director of the UAH-ISDEFE Observatory on ICT and Digital Advancement.
