Computer Network

Advantages of a computer network :
1. It provides all data and information to the users or computers connected to the computer network, without regards to their physical location.
2. We can share the fast computing ability of one of the computers, which is connected to the network, with other users of the network.
3. Computers connected to the network can share printers, harddisks, files etc.
4. When one person on the network updated the data, it is instantly available to everyone.
Therefore, computer networks may provide a very good and efficient communication medium between various people.  
Depending on the geographical proximity, computer networks are divided into the following categories :
1. Local Area Network (L.A.N.)
2. Metropolitan Area Network(M.A.N.)
3. Wide Area Network (W.A.N.)
