writing and references, it is easy to see the characteristics of the Open Shop systems and the Batch processing systems as a “one computer for all” type of architecture and of particular interest for me was the massive scale of the expense (dollars) in terms of wasted computer time even though each user had only around 15 minutes to execute their programs.

each computer listens to the cable before sending anything through the network. If the network is clear, the computer will transmit. If some other node is already transmitting on the cable, the computer will wait and try again when the line is clear. Sometimes, two computers attempt to transmit at the same instant. When this happens a collision occurs. Each computer then backs off and waits a random amount of time before attempting to retransmit. With this access method, it is normal to have collisions
