A network is defined as a group
of two or more computer systems
linked together. Internet is the
largest network that links millions
of computers to share information
across the world.
The biggest advantage of the
Internet is that you can access it
from a computer or mobile device
anywhere: at home, at office, at
school, or at a restaurant.
