What is Computer Networking?


The process of accessing and manipulating files through communications pathways between workstations, printout devices such as print servers, and storage units such as file servers.
If you own multiple PCs, you have probably thought about how great it would be if your computers including internet security software could talk to each other. With your computers connected, you could:
  • Share a single printer between computers
  • Share a single Internet connection among all the computers in your home
  • Access shared files such as photographs, MP3s, spreadsheets and documents on any computer in the house
  • Play games that allow multiple users at different computers
  • Send the output of a device like a DVD player or Webcam to your other computer(s)
