//What is// //a N////etwork?//

A network is an interconnected system of things or people. A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams. (Cited:[])

The two basic types of networks include:


 * Local Area Network (LAN)
 * Wide Area Network (WAN)
 * Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), a Wireless LAN (WLAN), or a Wireless WAN (WWAN) are a little more advanced networks so we can talk about them later.
