Conclusion
A network is two or more computers connected together using
a telecommunication system for the purpose of
communicating and sharing resources. Without having a
network companies would not be able to share resources and
increase productivity more effectively. The WAN network
allowed companies to use the internet over large areas. The
provided the company to have meetings overseas by video
conferencing and sharing data over the network. As you can
see, networks have many benefits to the end user. Weather
your network is wired or wireless, networks are important part
of technology.
