Dec 4 2023 - 8888

 

How many angel numbers can there be?  There's an 8888 angel number.  I was thinking of computer displays.  

Port numbers in computer networking represent communication endpoints. Port 8888 seems to show up a lot.

And there is an 8888 Uprising in Burma - 1 million protestors in Yangon...coup against the military-led government. The protests peaked in August 1988.

8888 is used in various secret features. In Samsung, 8888 #  is used to display the hardware version.

What I am thinking about is called seven-segment display - a form of electronic display device for displaying decimal numerals that is an alternative to the more complex dot matrix displays.  Digital clocks, electronic meters, and other electronic devices use this approach.  it has been around for a few decades in our consumer clocks and electronics.

The format was patented starting in 1903. They started off printed on tape in a segmented format.  Fast forward and here we are with the standard displays everywhere.  

Of course it has to be precise and organized.  Here is the basic format.  

We take the display format for granted  They form numbers, letters, and words.  There are games for coding and decoding numbers to letters, etc.  


Here's a sunshine flower - only grown in botanical greenhouses now.  It is Salpiglossis.
