This document discusses computer networks and their types, configurations, topologies, advantages, and disadvantages. It defines a network as a connection between computing devices that allows them to share information. The main types of networks covered are local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs). Wired networks generally have faster transmission speeds but higher installation and maintenance costs than wireless networks. Common network topologies include bus, ring, and star configurations. In conclusion, networks play an important role in sharing information and data in daily life.

2. NETWORK
A connection between two or more computing devices to
share information.

3. TYPES OF NETWORK
Local Area Network (a network that covers small area) example
it can be in a room.
Metropolitan Area Network (a network that covers a huge size
)example in town for a certain organization.
Wide Area Network (a network of geographically distant
computers) example internet.

4. NETWORK CONNECTION
ADVANTAGES
1. Communication is faster
2. Resources are shared
3. To share information
4. Reduce software cost

5. NETWORK CONNECTION
DISADVANTAGES
1. Virus can easily be spread
2. Need expensive building
3. Hackers may hack
4. Server failure due to dependence on
the solver

6. DEFFERENCE BETWEEN NETWORK CONFIGATIONS
WIRED NETWORK
Less expensive
Faster transmission of speed
There is need of networking
distributors
High installation and
maintenance cost
Hub, switch are used
WIRELESS NETWORK
More expensive
Slow transmission speed
Low installation and
maintenance cost
Wireless routers,wireless
access point are used

7. NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
Bus topology Ring topology
Star topology

8. CONCLUSION
Ladies and gentlemen, computer is already a member of our daily
life,technology has found it ways in the daily aspects of our
lives.Basically network is used in sharing information and data.
