Computer Network

A computer network is a set of computers connected together for the purpose of sharing resources. The most common resource shared today is connection to the Internet. Other shared resources can include a printer or a file server.

 A computer network is a system in which multiple computers are connected to each other to share information and resources.
Characteristics of a Computer Network:-
·        Share resources from one computer to another.
·        Create files and store them in one computer, access those files from the other computer(s) connected over the network.
·        Connect a printer, scanner, or a fax machine to one computer within the network and let other computers of the network use the machines available over the network.
A computer network is a set of connected computers. Computers on a network are called nodes. The connection between computers can be done via cabling, most commonly the Ethernet cable, or wireless through radio waves. Connected computers can share resources, like access to the Internet, printers, file servers, and others. A network is a multipurpose connection, which allows a single computer to do more.
Following is the list of hardware's required to set up a computer network.
  • Network Cables
  • Distributors
  • Routers
  • Internal Network Cards
  • External Network Cards
Network and Computer Systems Administrators are responsible for the day-to-day operation of an organization's computer networks. They organize, install, and support an organization's computer systems, including: Local area networks (LANs) Wide area networks (WANs)

Introduction to Computer

COMPUTER- Basically the term COMPUTER is derived from "GREEK" word which means to calculate. Hence we can say that computer is a calculating device. In other word we can say that Computer is an electronic device which store data processing and give out the result. A computer is an electronic device which performs "Arithmetical and logical operation. A computer understood binary digit that is 0 and 1. Computer is an electronic device which accepts  data form user through input device and process the data with the help of processor after processing we desired output form. A computer also refereed as data processor because It can store the data, Process the data, and Retrieve data whenever desired.

Computer Generation

The development of computer has been very rapid in the last 60 years. The development has been in five distinct stages and each stage is called as generation. There are totally five computer generations.    the generation term was used to distinguish between varying hardware technologies. Nowadays, generation includes both hardware and software, which together make up an entire computer system. types of computer generation :- 1. First generation :-The First generation started from 1946 with ENIAC. It was the first fully automatic electronic computer. It was constructed at the Moore school of engineering of the university of Pennsylvania (USA) by a design team led by professor J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly. The main component of this generation was vacuum tubes.In the ENIAC used 18000 vacuum tubes. ADVANTAGE 1. Vacuum tubes ware the only electronic component available. 2. These computers were the fastest calculating devices of that time. 3. Vacuum tubes techno

Types Of Computer Network

There are so many different types of computer networks in existence; it can be hard to understand the differences between them, particularly the ones with very similar-sounding names. This lesson explains the structures and functions of some of the most popular computer networks. Types of Networks There are several different types of computer networks. Computer networks can be characterized by their size as well as their purpose. The size of a network can be expressed by the geographic area they occupy and the number of computers that are part of the network. Networks can cover anything from a handful of devices within a single room to millions of devices spread across the entire globe. Some of the different networks based on size are: Personal area network, or PAN Local area network, or LAN Metropolitan area network, or MAN Wide area network, or WAN In terms of purpose, many networks can be considered general purpose, which means they are used f
