    Definition of a Computer Network

    • A computer network is an interconnection among two or more computing devices.

    Nodes in a Computer Network

    • A node is a device connected to a computer network, such as a computer, printer, or server.

    Advantages of a Computer Network

    • Resource sharing: allows multiple devices to access and share resources such as files, printers, and internet connections.
    • Improved communication and collaboration: enables users to share information and work together more efficiently.
    • Increased flexibility: allows users to access network resources from different locations.

    History of Computer Networks

    • The experiment of computer networks started in the late 1960s.

    Disadvantages of a Computer Network

    • Complicated large network management: requires specialized skills and equipment to manage and maintain.
    • Risk of cyber crimes: exposes networks to hacking, malware, and other security threats.
    • Single point of failure: if the server fails, the data may not remain accessible.

    Additional Notes

    • Resource sharing is an advantage of a computer network.
    • Large network management can be complicated.
    • Cyber crimes are a risk in computer networks.
    • If the server fails, the data may not remain accessible in a computer network.
