    The document discusses computer networks, defining a computer network as the interconnection of computer systems and related devices. It notes that initially computers were standalone but networks allowed information to be shared. Networks are needed to share resources like files, printers, and software between computers. Computer networks can be classified by scale as personal area networks, local area networks, campus area networks, metropolitan area networks, or wide area networks. The two main types are local area networks and wide area networks, which differ in their geographic distribution. Networks allow applications like accessing files remotely, sharing printers, online services, games, and video conferencing.
