Networks; Networks are types of systems that link one or more computers together, this can be done wirelessly or connected to share, exchange and convert different file types. Wifi devices can also enter in networks such as mobiles, laptops and game consoles. Take a school for example, all the computers can acceces each others information becuse they all are working on the same network, this makes it easier to exchange data and check that all students are working at the same level. LAN networks stand for local area networks, these networks can be accesed by anyone on the network in the local area and only cover a short distance. WAN networks stand for wide area networkss, these can also be accesable to people in a large area. Advantages to using networks are that you can share, exchange and convert data, they are easily accesable and have security. Disadvantages of networks are they cost alot finacially, if the system goes down all data types may be lost and that the network itsself can slow the computer down.
