Characteristics of a Computer Network


The primary purpose of a computer network is to share resources:

1.You can play a CD music from one computer while sitting on another computer
2.You may have a computer with a CD writer or a backup system but the other computer doesn’t have it; In this case, you can burn CDs or make backups on a computer that has one of these but using data from a computer that doesn’t have a CD writer or a backup system
3.You may have a computer that doesn’t have a DVD player. In this case, you can place a movie DVD on the computer that has a DVD player, and then view the movie on a computer that lacks a DVD player
4.You can connect a printer (or a scanner, or a fax machine) to one computer and let other computers of the network print (or scan, or fax) to that printer (or scanner, or fax machine)
5.You can place a CD with pictures on one computer and let other computers access those pictures
6.You can create files and store them in one computer, then access those files from the other computer(s) connected to it
