   Use of Computer Network. Information and Resource Sharing/computer network device and software − Computer networks allow organizations having units which are placed apart from each other, to share information in a very effective manner. Programs and software in any computer can be accessed by other computers linked to the network. It also allows sharing of hardware equipment, like printers and scanners among varied users. Retrieving Remote Information − through computer networks, users can retrieve remote information on a variety of topics. The information is stored in remote databases to which the user gains access through information systems like the World Wide Web. Communication − Computer networks have increased the speed and volume of communication like never before. Electronic Mail (email) is extensively used for sending texts, documents, images, and videos across the globe. Online communications have increased by manifold times through social networking se...

  Advantage and Disadvantage of Computer Network.   The computer network is defined as a set of interconnected autonomous systems that facilitate distributed processing of information. It results in better performance with a high speed of processing.  Advantages of Network:   These are the main advantages of Computer Networks:    Central Storage of Data –   Files can be stored on a central node (the file server) that can be shared and made available to each and every user in an organization.    Anyone can connect to a computer network –   There is a negligible range of abilities required to connect to a modern computer network. The effortlessness of joining makes it workable for even youthful kids to start exploiting the data.    Faster Problem-solving –   Since an extensive procedure is disintegrated into a few littler procedures and each is taken care of by all the associated gadgets, an explicit iss...

Computer Network               A computer network is a set of devices connected through links. A node can be computer, printer, or any other device capable of sending or receiving the data. The links connecting the nodes are known as communication channels.                         Computer Network uses distributed processing in which task is divided among several computers. Instead, a single computer handles an entire task, each separate computer handles a subset.
