Benefits of Computer Networks Explained

Computer networks have connected businesses since the 1960s, allowing shared communication, files, and equipment between different computer makes and models. Networks allow resource and information sharing between computers. While networks provide benefits like increased productivity, they also present security risks that require awareness. Computer networks transfer information quickly but people should understand both their advantages and potential flaws.

REFFERNCE
ABSTRACT
Computer networking has become one of the most successful ways of sharing
information, where all computers are wirelessly linked together by a common
network. Now, businesses and organizations heavily rely on it to get messages and
information across to essential channels. Not only has that it benefited
establishments, but also individuals, as they also need to share important information
every day. But no matter how useful computer networking is, it does not come without
drawbacks.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
In parallel to the development of data networking, the computers began to
change. Computers became more powerful as processor speeds increased with
the development of faster microprocessors on silicon chips. Memory became
more available as chip technology and hard drive technology improved.
Additionally, computers became smaller and less expensive, to the point that the
typical desktop PC is equivalent to an early mainframe that would have filled a
moderate-size office building. As a result, all of this computing power and
storage capability on all of these desktops would lead to a need to network those
devices within the workplace
1.2AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The Aim is to provide all the program, date and hardware
is available to everyone on the network without regard to
the physical location of the resource and the [Link]
are some of the Objectives:

 Resource sharing is the main objective of the computer


network.
 The second objective is to provide the high Reliability.
 Computer organization has helped organization in
saving money.
 Computer network have provided means to increase
system performance as the work load increases (load
1.3 MOTIVATION
Data Protection and Redundancy Preventing critical data loss saves businesses
worldwide countless millions of dollars every year. Networking computers
together allows users to distribute copies of important information across
multiple locations, ensuring essential information isn't lost with the failure of
any one computer in the network. By utilizing central backup systems both on-
and off-site, unique documents and data can be gathered automatically from
every computer in the network and securely backed up in case of physical
computer damage or accidental deletion.
2.1 WHAT IS COMPUTER NETWORK

A computer network is a set of computers connected

together for the purpose of sharing resources. The

most common resource shared today is connection

to the Internet. Other shared resources can include a

printer or a file server. The Internet itself can be

considered as a computer network.


2.1.1 ADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER NETWORK

 It enhances communication and availability of information.

 It allows for more convenient resource sharing.


 It makes file sharing easier,Computer networking allows
easier accessibility for people to share their files.
 It is highly flexible.
 It is an inexpensive system. Because Installing networking
software on your device would not cost too much, as you are
assured that it lasts and can effectively share information to
your peers.
 It increases cost efficiency .
2.1.2 DISADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER NETWORK

 It lacks independence. Computer networking involves a process that is

operated using computers, so people will be relying more of computer work,

instead of exerting an effort for their tasks at hand.

 It poses security difficulties. Because there would be a huge number of

people who would be using a computer network to get and share some of

their files and resources, a certain user’s security would be always at risk.

 It allows for more presence of computer viruses and malware.

 Its light policing usage promotes negative acts.


2.2 USES OF COMPUTER NETWORK

 Science : Scientists have long been users of it. A new adventure among scientists is the idea of
a “collaboratory”, an internet based collaborative laboratory, in which researchers all over the
world can work easily together even at a distance.

 Business :Business clearly see the interest as a way to enhance productivity and
competitiveness. Some areas of business that are undergoing rapid changes are sales and
marketing, retailing, banking, stock trading, etc.

 Government: Various departments of the Government use computer for their planning,
control and law enforcement activities.

 Defence: Computers are used in helping the military find out where all their assets are
(Situational Awareness) and in Communications/Battle Management Systems.
2.3 BENEFIT OF COMPUTER NETWORK IN SOCIETY

 It helps you automate various tasks that you can not do manually.

 It helps you organize your data and information in a better way.


 It has much more computing and calculating power then an ordinary
human.
 It may help your work to be a lot easier.
 It may be the storage of your important data and files.
 It may be your handy book.

 It may help you solve problems faster than an ordinary human being
can do.
summary
computer networks have been a boon for businesses because they
connect different makes and models of microcomputers, minicomputers
or even mainframe computers, allowing for shared communication,
files and equipment. The first networks appeared in the 1960s when
multi-user networks were introduced. In multi-user systems, dumb
terminals, which do not have processing capabilities of their own, are
connected to a central host computer, which shares processing time
with these dumb terminals.
CONCLUSION

Computer networking will always be a fast and convenient means of

transferring and sharing information, but people should be aware of

its consequences as well. They should remember that often relying on

this system can put them at certain risks that can be cause by its flaws

and other malfunctions.
