Networks Connect Us 

Among all of the essentials for human existence, the need to interact with others ranks just below our need
to sustain life. Communication is almost as important to us as our reliance on air, water, food, and shelter.

In today’s world, through the use of networks, we are connected like never before. People with ideas can
communicate instantly with others to make those ideas a reality. News events and discoveries are known
worldwide in seconds. Individuals can even connect and play games with friends separated by oceans and
continents.

1.1.3

No Boundaries 

Advancements in networking technologies are perhaps the most significant changes in the world today.
They are helping to create a world in which national borders, geographic distances, and physical limitations
become less relevant, presenting ever-diminishing obstacles.

The internet has changed the manner in which our social, commercial, political, and personal interactions
occur. The immediate nature of communications over the internet encourages the creation of global
communities. Global communities allow for social interaction that is independent of location or time zone.

The creation of online communities for the exchange of ideas and information has the potential to increase
productivity opportunities across the globe.

The creation of the cloud lets us store documents and pictures and access them anywhere, anytime. So
whether we are on a train, in a park, or standing on top of a mountain, we can seamlessly access our data
and applications on any device.
