Program Plan Intro
Networks:
A collection of devices and computers connected together to transmit their data is called a network.
- Both tangible and intangible resources can be shared through the network.
- Tangible resources are anything that has physical existence such as printers.
- Intangible resources are the ones that do not have physical existence such as files.
- The connection between the computers is made using wired communication such as physical cables or wires or wireless communication such as radio waves or infrared signal.
