Understanding Network in Computing and Telecommunications in Cameroon
A computer network connects computers and other peripherals (like printers) to share data, files, and resources.
Devices on a network can be linked by cables, Wi-Fi, or other methods like radio waves or satellites.
Some networks have a server, which is a powerful computer that acts as a central hub for services like file storage, email, or internet access.
