And although the bandwidth of connections between machines has improved steadily over the years, inside them it has lagged behind.
In addition, the ease of use of these machines has improved so much that they have found their way into the laboratories, not just of physicists, but also chemists, biologists, and engineers.
Since then, the rapid technological development in multislice machines has improved the sensitivity and reliability of spiral CT, providing the concrete possibility of detecting pulmonary lesions of 3 4 mm in size in a few seconds, without the use of intravenous contrast.
As machines have improved, workers have been let go, and after September, the facility here will be the post office's only center for reading illegible mail.

Meanwhile, Facebook's machine learning algorithm has improved its accuracy and speed, so the social network will now have it send more potential hoaxes to fact checkers.
Over the past few years, the ability to connect first monkeys and then men to machines in ways that allow brain signals to tell those machines what to do has improved by leaps and bounds.
Whilst this has gone a long way to increasing the operational life of a machine, the overall complexity of systems has improved sharply and it is becoming more and more difficult to predict and account for all possible failure modes.
Computer technology has improved significantly since the appearance of the first PCs, Macs and CNC machines.
Public transport has improved.
