Computer Network

The human society has advanced. Our requirements have multiplied. Machines have limitations. The capacity of a machine cannot go beyond. 


To enable machines, like 'Computers', to work with increased efficiency, 'Computer Networks' were designed. Once a 'Computer' is part of a 'Computer Network', we can see the performance of the 'Computer' climbing up.


Also, necessity is the mother of invention. To handle our ever growing list of problems, it was thought that if 'Computers' could be made to cooperate among, the capacity of these electronic machines would shoot up. Indeed this shot in capacity has resulted in increased performance. High performance of 'Computers Networks' is a result of a good teamwork among connected 'Computers'. The level of user satisfaction registers increase.


We can easily say that a 'Network' of two 'Computers' is much more powerful than the power of the two same unlinked  'Computers'. 


Suppose two 'Computers' are working but they are not connected to form a 'Network'. Now, the quantity of meaningful information generated by two unlinked 'Computers' in a fixed interval of time would be less. Much  more meaningful information would be generated by two 'Networked Computers' in the same interval.


A 'Computer Network' is really a piece of design. The 'Computers' can be understood as nodes. The 'Computers' ( nodes ) in a 'Network' are connected. A 'Connection Line' runs between two 'Computers', and a 'Computer Network' is born. Here the 'Computer Network' has two computers connected using a 'Connection Line'.


The focus of our study here should be the 'Computers', and the 'Connection Lines' as well. It is important to note that the 'minimum' number of 'Computers' in a 'Computer Network' is 'two'.


When a 'Computer' in a 'Computer Network' has to communicate, it makes use of 'Connection Line(s)'.


'Computers' and 'Connection Lines' are the two things that are underlined heavily by the subject: 'Computer Networks'.

Local-Area Networks

Local-Area Networks ( LANs ) are restricted to a small area. Such Networks may be established within a building. Computers that are part of Local-Area Networks are Personal Computers ( PCs ) or microcomputers. These Computers are connected to each other. Simple communication lines connect these Pers Networks bring people together. When people join  hands teamwork becomes possible. The structural composition of LANs simplifies teamwork. In other words, LAN hardware supports teams having similar processing requirements. LAN Computers readily support personalization of tasks allocated to professionals.  Office staff can work together and share information. This improves the efficiency of the entire workforce. It has been noted that here all the Networked Computers are Personal Computers. They are of equal capacity. Mostly LAN users have similar tasks. If situations allow, a user is independent to access any Computer to serve his purpose. LAN users can exercise the option of secu...

Computers - An Introduction

Computers are man made machines. They are made to work very fast. Working fast they can solve  big and small problems.  Modern science has given us these computers. They are very popular. Computers affect and change lives. They keep us happy.The happiness grows. Computers are quick and smart. Great problem solvers and simplifiers are our computers. They can do our work without stopping. Focus is on doing only what is needed. Not needed, not done.  Computers are  life-less servants. They cannot think or make decisions on their own. They are empowered to work. They are given each and every thing so that they carry out our orders. Orders are respected by computers. The manner in which computers work is wholly dependent on man.  The quality of service provided by computers is remarkable. They are loved by human beings. Computers are known for smart and quick service. Computers do not give wrong results. Correct answers are always given. Questions which are difficult...

Euclid's Algorithm

The Greatest Common Divisor ( GCD ) of  two numbers is a number. The number ( GCD ) causes division of the two numbers. This number ( GCD ) is the greatest number that is possible. This divisor partially forms the two numbers. Adding  the divisor successively may result in formation of the two numbers. One can note that when the divisor is the greatest, the division of the dividend is the sharpest. The division operation is very effective. When the Greatest Common Divisor of two numbers is considered, we think of a number that can cause division of both the numbers. Here the two numbers are unequal. The Greatest Common Divisor causes divisions of the two numbers differently. This is clear from the two different quotient values.  The GCD value is very interesting to note. It relates very well with the two numbers. The GCD of two even numbers is also an even number. The GCD of two odd numbers is an odd number. So, we can say that GCD is an abstraction of the two numbers in ...
