What is a computer network: A computer network connects two or more computers through cables or network devices to facilitate the exchange of information and shared resources between them.
Computing network function: 1: Data communication 2: Resource sharing 3: Increase Reliability 4: Improve system processing capability
A brief history of computer network development: 1: The first phase of implementation of the Internet implementation of the basic 2: The second phase: The landmark technology is the implementation of TCP/IP 3: The third Stage: Web technology will be the traditional voice, data and television network fusion.
