Network

A NETWORK is a group of two or more computer systems linked together.

Without the network, we would not be able to connect with our friends from places miles away from us.

If it wasn't also for the network, the social networking sites that are almost a part of our daily lives nowadays would not be that efficient.

                        

                    There are many types of network; Sir Tom introduced some to us.

1. LOCAL AREA NETWORK

 

LAN is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area.

2. METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK

MAN is a computer network that spans a metropolitan area or campus.

Its geographic scope falls between a WAN and LAN.

3. WIDE AREA NETWORK

WAN is a computer network that spans a large physical distance such as the Internet.

There are a lot more types of network, and these three are just some of the common ones.
