Basic Computer Networking

The invention of the computer undoubtedly revolutionized the world. As they rapidly evolved, new features were added to make their operation easier and increase their usefulness. People adopted them into their homes, and businesses began using them to store and process data, as well. Soon, the need to share information between computers gave rise to more efficient ways to transport information on disks, but the need for two computers to communicate directly was still very high. Thus, the demand for networking was born.

Computers today thrive off of connectivity to the world wide web, but the internet was born from the idea of having many computer connected together simultaneously, able to share data freely. That idea is still very alive and present today, and it has become easier than ever to set up and use a network to share information quickly and easily.
