A computer is an electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data. It allows users to type documents, send emails, browse the internet, manage spreadsheets and databases, and more. An operating system manages computer resources and provides common services for programs. Computer networks allow devices to exchange data through connections established by cable or wireless media. They can be categorized by their scope, such as local area networks, wireless local area networks, wide area networks, and more.

1. Computers and more

2. A computer is an electronic
device that manipulates
information, or "data." It has
the ability to store, retrieve,
and process data. You can
use a computer to type
documents, send email,
and browse the internet.
You can also use it to
handle spreadsheets,
accounting, database
management, resentations,
games, and more.

4. Ports
A port serves as an interface
between the computer and
other computers or peripheral
devices.

5. Operative systems
 An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages
computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer
programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system
software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an
operating system to function.

6. Organizational scope
A communications protocol is a set of rules for exchanging information over
network links. In a protocol stack, each protocol leverages the services of the
protocol below it.
• Intranets
• Extranet
• Internetwork
• Internet
• Darknet

7.  It is a
telecommunications
network that allows
computers to
exchange data. In
computer networks,
networked computing
devices pass data to
each other along data
connections. The
connections between
nodes are established
using either cable
media or wireless
media.

8. One way to categorize the different types of computer network designs is
by their scope or scale. For historical reasons, the networking industry refers
to nearly every type of design as some kind of area network. Common
examples of area network types are:
 LAN - Local Area Network
 WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network
 WAN - Wide Area Network
 MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
 SAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area
Network, or sometimes Small Area Network
 CAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes
Cluster Area Network
 PAN - Personal Area Network
 DAN - Desk Area Network

9. Bridging (networking)
 Network bridging describes
the action taken by network
equipment to allow two or
more communication
networks, or two or more
network segments, to create
an aggregate network.
Bridging is distinct from routing
which allows the networks to
communicate independently
as separate networks. A
network bridge is a network
device that connects multiple
network segments.
