are multiple benefits that come along with using networks, as oppose to using just a single machine.
One benefit of networking is file sharing. File sharing is how users share their data files. Using a
network also allows for hardware sharing. Hardware sharing is when devices/computers that are
networked together share devices such as hard drjves, printers, scanners, and more. Networking not
only allows file sharing and hardware sharing, but also application sharing, improves communication
between users, many users that are at different places can play games together (network gaming).
Last, I am going to talk about Voice Over IP (Internet Protocol). Void is when telephone calls, which
would be considered voice data, uses standard Internet Protocol as oppose to send by traditional
PSTN. The use of a single machine would mean trying to catch the machine without someone on it,
which in turn costs you time and money. Using single machines could mean an overload on your
system, in turn causing harm to your system eventually.
