Computers in a network can
share information as well as
devices such as printers and
scanners.
Let’s take a brief look at how the Internet is put together.
A network is the basic building block of the Internet. Two
computers create a small network when they are linked to
each other.
A network can link multiple computers. For example, a
large company could link all of its computers within a
single network.
On a higher level, networks can link to other networks. In fact,

Internet. Together they provide seemingly endless amounts of
information for topics such as:
• Entertainment
• Commerce
• Research
• Education
