1. What is Networking?
Networking is like connecting different computers and devices so they can talk to each other, share information, and work together. It’s the digital way for machines to communicate.
2. Devices in a Network:
Imagine computers, smartphones, printers, and other devices as friends in a group. Networking is like giving them a way to chat, share files, or play games together.
3. Internet as a Giant Network:
The Internet is a massive network that connects millions of devices worldwide. When you go online, you’re essentially joining this giant digital community.
4. IP Addresses:
Every device in a network has a unique address called an IP address. It’s like a phone number for computers. This address helps them find and talk to each other.
5. Routers:
Routers are like traffic managers. They direct information between devices in a network, ensuring that data reaches the right destination.
6. Wi-Fi:
Wi-Fi is like a wireless magic that allows devices to connect to the internet without needing physical cables. It’s like giving your devices the ability to chat without being physically close.
7. Protocols:
Protocols are like rules or languages that devices in a network follow to communicate. They ensure that information is transmitted in a way everyone can understand.
8. Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN):
A Local Area Network (LAN) is like a small neighborhood of devices, usually in the same building. A Wide Area Network (WAN) is like connecting neighborhoods or even cities.
9. Real-World Project:
For a project, you might design a simple network for a small office, connecting computers, a printer, and maybe a shared storage space.
