/* Number size calculations
 * VERY important when dealing with time
 * 
How many seconds in a minute = 60 (byte)
How many seconds in an hours = 60 x 60 = 3600 = (Integer)
How many seconds in a day = 60 * 60 * 24 = 86400 (long)
How many seconds in a year = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 = 31,536,000 (long)

Even for an Arduino a second is a long time, we tend to use milliseconds

How many milliseconds in a second = 1000 = integer
How many milliseconds in a minute = 60 * 1000 = 60000 = long
How many milliseconds in an hours = 60 x 60 * 1000 =  3,600,000 = long
How many milliseconds in a day = 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000 = 86,400,000 (long)
How many milliseconds in a year = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 1000 = 31,536,000,000 , BIGGER THAN A LONG
Millis reaches maximum in about 50 days using an unsigned long
                                        
                                        
microseconds() 1,000,000 per second will run out of space in 70 minutes using unsigned long
