Build a Computer Network
What is a computer?
A computer is any device capable of performing computations which include an Abacus, but this is too simple to describe modern day computers. Modern day computers are electronic devices that carry out both arithmetic and logic operations at extremely high speeds. This device consists of input, processing, storage, output, hardware, software.
The computer uses silicon-based semi-conductor technologies and a collection of storage, processing, presentation and user interface components to produce inputs and outputs in a format that users can interpret. It manipulates information and data, retrieves and process data, allows user to type documents, send e-mails, create spread sheets, create and manage databases, create graphic presentations, and is also used for leisure. The computer is able to perform these entire tasks by following a set of instructions called software.
What are the main types of computers used in a network?
The main types of computers used in a network are: * Desktop Computer or PC * Laptop PC * Super computer * mainframe * workstation * microcomputer or personal computer * tablet PC * palmtop/ handheld * server * Mobile computer
What is a Network?
A network is a collection of computers and other hardware components interconnected
