A computer network is two or more computers (or other electronic devices) that are connected together, usually by cables or Wi-Fi.

Using a network allows you to share:

hardware, such as a printer

software, allowing multiple users to run the same programs on different computers

data, so that other people can access shared work and you can access your data from any computer on the network

A computer that is not connected to a network is called a standalone computer.

Lets try the following tasks:

Tick each task when you have successfully done it in the following list:

Local area network (LAN)

A local area network is when computers or devices are connected together over a small geographical area, such as within a home, a building or one site. A LAN can be created to share data or hardware such as a printer, or to share an internet connection.

Wide area network (WAN)

A wide area network is when computers or devices are connected together over a large geographical area. For example, a company with an office in London and another in Beijing would use a WAN to allow the employees to share one network. Some companies will connect a number of LANs in different areas together to create a WAN. The biggest WAN we know is the internet.
