What is a computer network?

A computer network refers to a collection of interconnected devices, such as computers, servers, routers, switches, and cables, that are linked together to facilitate data sharing and communication between users. These networks can be small, like a local area network (LAN) within a single building or office, or large, like a wide area network (WAN) that spans multiple cities or even continents. Computer networks enable users to share resources such as files, printers, and internet connections, and they can be wired or wireless. They play a crucial role in connecting devices and enabling efficient communication and collaboration in both personal and professional settings.
