What Is Network

Networks connect electronic devices together through cables, wires, or wireless connections. They allow for communication between devices by sending messages and emails, sharing files through file storage, and working collaboratively. The main components of a network include senders that transmit data, receivers that receive data, transmission media like cables that transfer the data, messages or files being transferred, and protocols that govern how devices communicate. Local area networks connect devices within a building while wide area networks connect devices farther apart, such as between offices of an organization.
