Today we’ll talk about what “slots” are. This term, alien to the sound of a Russian person, has many homonyms, that is, words with the same pronunciation, but different meanings. Let's figure out what slots are in different industries.
Old values
Despite the fact that this term is widely used due to computer technology and the Internet, it existed before. One of the first values appeared for the designation of places in running competitions and means a place free to participate in the race. That is, if 10 people should participate in the race, then there are only ten slots for this.
Another answer to the question of what are slots, appeared with the beginning of the aeronautics era and is used in airports. A slot is a period of time during which an airplane can take off or land on a runway.
