Computer Networks

A Computer Network is a system where two or more devices are linked together to share data, resources and information. These networks can range from simple setups, like connecting two devices in your home, to massive global systems, like the Internet. Below are some uses of computer networks

• Sharing devices such as printers and scanners: Multiple systems can access the same hardware, reducing the need for duplicate devices and lowering costs.

• Sharing Data: Teams can work on shared documents, applications or systems, which boosts efficiency.

• Communicating using web, email, video and instant messaging: Networks enable both real-time and delayed communication. Users can access information, send messages, participate in video calls and chat.

• Data management: Networks allow organizations to store data in a central or distributed location, making it easier to manage, secure and back up critical information.

• Remote access : Users can log into computers, servers or cloud platforms from different locations, supporting remote work and 24/7 access.
