" Hi! I’m Mike with expertvillage.com, today I’m going to talk a little bit about what is a network and what does it do. A network is a set of computers or set of devises that transmit data back and forth. It can do this over wires or cables or wirelessly; the wireless internet. A network is usually used to share either communications and data, voice, video, audio, you know things like what you’re watching now on expertvillage.com. These are classified in a couple of different ways as wide area networks and local area networks and that’s really simple as it sounds. Local area networks are typically very localized within the same building or a very small geographical region. Wide area networks are spread across multiple geographic regions of very large areas. The internet itself can be considered a wide area network."
