Why You Need a Computer Network

Here are some of the ways a computer network can help your business:
  • File sharing: Have you ever needed to access a file stored on another computer? A network makes it easy for everyone to access the same file and prevents people from accidentally creating different versions.
  • Printer sharing: If you use a computer, chances are you also use a printer. With a network, several computers can share the same printer. Although you might need a more expensive printer to handle the added workload, it's still cheaper to use a network printer than to connect a separate printer to every computer in your office.
  • Communication and collaboration: It's hard for people to work together if no one knows what anyone else is doing. A network allows employees to share files, view other people's work, and exchange ideas more efficiently. In a larger office, you can use e-mail and instant messaging tools to communicate quickly and to store messages for future reference.
  • Organization: A variety of scheduling software is available that makes it possible to arrange meetings without constantly checking everyone's schedules. This software usually includes other helpful features, such as shared address books and to-do lists.

  1. I agree computer network is important to our daily life. network help organization and user send file from computer to another quite easily. it also connect all the computer which are connected through network to internet by using single line. users also can run those programs which are not installed on their computers are installed on any other users computer

    bases on my understanding two major types of network which is (LAN) local area network and (WAN) wide area network
