/**
 * The Event class forms the reference implementation for the EventInterface. Because events are often sent over the network,
 * the interface demands that source of the event and its content are serializable. It is the responsibility of the programmer,
 * though, that the <b>fields</b> of the sourceId and content are serializable as well.
