1 .A network connects computers and other devices together so that they can share data, information and resources.
2 Groupware allows users on a network to work together on the same project. Each member of the group can view the same document and immediately see the changes made by a colleague.
3 The advantages of using a network are in resource sharing, accessing remote services, facilitating communications and sharing data and information.
4 Resource sharing allows users to access a resource on the network only when they need it, thus not requiring each workstation to have its own connected resource, which saves the organisation money.
5Resources other than a printer that can be shared on a network include scanners, Internet connection, software, media files (for example DVD), fax machines and network storage and directory services.
6 Remote ordering services remove the risk of employees producing transcription errors since the customer directly enters their order. The employee’s time is not required to enter the order, again saving money.
7 Sharing files on a network avoids problems associated with data duplication since there only needs to be one version of the file that each user accesses when needed. Any updates or changes made to that file (such as a change to a client’s address) will be saved to the single file that everyone else accesses. If each user had their own version of the file it would create data errors since any change made would have to be made to every version and it would be easy for one user to use outdated data.
8 A blog is usually maintained by a single author and operates in a similar way to an online journal. Each entry is a text blurb that may contain links to other sites. Visitors may leave a comment, but do not have any direct impact on the content of the blog. A wiki, on the other hand, is a website that allows visitors to add material and to edit content entered by others. So a blog is better to use when someone wishes to
