It’s been so long since I blogged and I believe it was the right time to brush up on a few basics. So, here’s “Networking”, for you!
So what is Networking in Layman’s terms? Simple. Connecting multiple devices allows them to exchange information and resources. Today, we shall look at some of the basic network types available in today’s day and age.
Did you know, everything is online nowadays?
We expect all our devices such as Mobile Phones, Tablets, Laptops, and Desktop computers always to be connected to the global internet. We use this network to interact with our friends and shops, share pictures, and experiences, and learn. The internet has become such a part of everyday life that we almost take it for granted.
So, who owns the Internet? Us!
You disagree? Let me tell you, the Internet is nothing but a collection of interconnected networks worldwide. Technically, we “all (our devices)”, cooperate to exchange information and resources. Isn’t it amazing? Everything is online, like Social Media, Online courses, etc. All of these destinations are connected to the local network that sends and receives information through the Internet.
What are Local Networks? In simple terms, it is a collection of devices that are connected to a single physical network connection. Like the ones at home, or office.
That’s it for today. I know that it was not much, but I was just covering some of the basic stuff, which will be useful to some of the laymen out there. Day 2, I will be covering some more topics, with more examples. I believe in you learn I learn motto, so if you have any feedback or suggestions for me, do let me know in the comments, and I will try and correct it in the coming days.
Ciao!
