Understanding the Basics of Computer
Communications
Communications Network Advantages

Computer communications refers to the transfer of data, Networks offer numerous advantages, including shared
instructions, and information between two or more computers resources, enhanced collaboration, improved communication,
or devices. It encompasses various methods and technologies, and cost savings. Networks allow for resource sharing, such as
enabling seamless exchange of information across networks. printers and data storage, streamlining workflow and reducing
costs. They also facilitate collaboration among individuals and
teams, enabling efficient project execution. Networks further
enhance communication by providing a platform for instant
messaging, email, and video conferencing.
