What is a Network?
The computers in a network are connected via hardware and software.
The hardware is what physically connects the computers in the network
together. For example: telephone lines, fiber-optic cables, routers and
gateways, and the computers themselves.
The software is what enables us to use the hardware for communication and
exchanging information.
