A circuit is the complete path between two terminals over which one-way or two-way communications may be provided. For more than 100 years—from the beginning of the telegraph up until electronic switching—a circuit was "dedicated" to its specific use (usually a voice phone call). Nothing could happen on the path (usually copper wire) until the call was completed. With the advent of computerized time multiplexing, however, it became possible to send more than one transmission over part of the same circuit. Circuits became "virtual" at that point, since the path was not the same for the entire length of the communication.

For example, an OR gate outputs 1 if either of its input bits are 1, and 0 otherwise. The output of a gate can then be used as an input to other gates.
