What is Computer Networking?
Computer Networking is pervasive right now,you can find it on small company and big enterprise either. Right now i would like to tell a story about computer networking.
First, what computer network is? Most books define it as “a simple collection of computers (two connected computers qualify as a network) at one location that have been tied together using a particular connectivity medium (such as network cabling or wireless technology)”.
The second is why should you need a computer network? It was because network enables anything. The network can be used to transmit data, sound, and even video between users on the network. Many apps such as email and instant messaging are feasible due to computer network.
Computer Network usually consist of computers, connectivity media (eg: as copper wire or fiber optic cables), and other devices (eg: hubs, switches, and routers), and Network interface card. There are many technologies that can bind computers togather, such as network cabling (copper or fiber optics), radio waves, and microwave technology.
