Module 1 - Introduction To Networking

This document provides an introduction to networking. It defines a network as a set of computers connected using a medium that allows them to communicate, share data, and maximize the use of common resources. Networks emerged as businesses relied more on computers and initially used floppy disks to transfer data between standalone systems. Networks are now used for business applications like e-commerce, home applications like accessing information remotely, mobile applications like online gaming, and social applications. The document describes three common network setup scenarios: a single workstation connected to the internet, multiple workstations connected via a router or switch, and a wireless network setup. It concludes with a section for questions and answers and an activity.
