Connected Via Computer Network

Most of us remain ignorant over how a computer works. We simply just turn on the computer and connect to the internet to access various websites. However, have you ever wondered how we can log on to the internet?
Basically, you are connected by a computer network which is divided into two major categories. They are the client/server network and peer-to-peer network. In the client/server network, there is a computer which plays the major role known as server whereby all the files, data in the form of web pages, documents or spread sheets files, videos, database and resources are kept. Other computers which get information and data from the server are therefore known as client. Hence the term client/server network whereas in the peer-to-peer network, all the computers play equal roles because no computer act as the centralized server.
In a computer network, there is something called a network topology which describes the structure or layout of a network. Some of the network topologies are described as the star, bus, ring and mesh structure. For example in the star topology, all the computers in the network are connected by a centralized device such as hub or switch which form a ‘star structure.’ However if one of the hubs fails to function, then the computers within the network will lose their connectivity and communication.
Types of Computer Networks

There are different types of Computer Networking that you may need for your home or office. To begin with you have the option of a wired or wireless computer network. These types of networks differ. A wired computer network will have copper or fiber optic cabling running between computers while a wireless network uses radio waves and/or microwaves to maintain communication channels.
A client/server network works by using client devices, typically PCs with network software applications installed that request and receive information over the network. The server device will usually store files and databases and includes more complex applications like Web sites. These devices often feature high-powered central processors, more memory and larger disk drives than the client devices. Two examples of client-server systems include Web browsers and servers.
Overview of Computer Networking
Aug 20th
A group of interconnected devices sharing information and resources together is known as network. Or, sharing information and resources between devices is called computer networking.
Advantages of Computer Networking:
Connectivity and Communication: Networks can connect different computers and the users of those computers. This makes the transmission of business or non-business information easier, more efficient and less expensive than it would be without the network.
Data Sharing: One of the most major uses of computer networking is to share the data among multiple users. It enables thousands of users to share data much more easily and quickly.
Hardware Resource: In computer networking, you can also share hardware resources like printer, CD drive etc. Its true that one printer can be placed on the network to serve multiple employees.
Internet Access: The Internet is itself a kind of network, so when you surf the Internet, you are using a computer network.
Computer networking can be of various types as mentioned below:

Job Responsibilities
As a significant part of the IT section in a company, a computer network technician has to see to it that everything from the Local Area Network (LAN) connections to the Wide Area Network
(WAN) connections run efficiently. Also referred to as a computer network engineer, such a specialist has to help plan the employer’s computer network and introduce new features to it, as and when required. Above everything else, a computer network technician requires to have precise knowledge about all the aspects of the company’s internal network since this is instrumental for information exchange. Apart from problem-solving skills, a computer network engineer needs to be adept at installation and configuration tasks.
Training and Education
Most companies search for certified computer network technicians. This means that one needs to have an advanced degree in computer networking to get through such a job. While most universities offer a Bachelor’s degree in computer networking, there are other certificate courses too that a student can make use of. In recent times, a host of online degrees have been launched to meet the educational requirements of students who seek to pursue this job profile.
