Network: A Group of Computers Connected Together

A network is a system of interconnected components, such as computers, servers, and other peripherals, that are capable of exchanging data and sharing resources. Networks are typically composed of hardware, such as routers, switches, and cables, as well as software and protocols that allow the components to communicate. Networks can be used for a variety of purposes, such as file sharing, data storage and retrieval, communication, and entertainment. Networks can be local, such as a home or office network, or global, such as the Internet. They can also be wired or wireless. Networks are an essential part of modern life, as they allow us to access information, communicate with others, and collaborate on projects.
