Techno Is My World!!!: Week 3

Ehem2, Assalamualaikum & wassup everyone!!!

In my latest class, I had learnt that the networking exist from the stone aged already. I was wondering on how people of stone aged practice the networking in their lives. And then Dr Dayang shows us some example.

Then I started to understand how was networking is in the ancient time. It was very difficult to communicate in that time. So they need the networking to help them can communicate between two person that lives so far away.

Gratefully we can communicate easily now with the help of technology of networking. So be thankful to live in this era please…. J

Say hello to NETWORKING!!!!

What is network??? It is the collection of connected intelligent computing devices by cabling that is the basic network.

These are 4 types of networks:

LAN (Local Area Network) - The computers are connected close together in the same building or room.
