    This document discusses an introductory lesson on computer networks. It defines a computer network as connecting multiple computers together to share resources like files, printers, and internet access. A router is used to direct data packets between different networks by analyzing IP addresses and routing traffic to the correct destination. A server stores shared resources that other computers on the network can access, like files, applications, printers, and internet connectivity. Computer networks provide advantages like sharing hardware and software resources and easier collaboration, but also risks like security threats if not configured properly. User IDs are assigned to identify each user on a network and control access to resources, and strong passwords help protect the security of individual accounts.
