 Importance of Subject
17

Computer networks are critically important for several reasons, which can be summarized as follows:
• Connectivity: Networks enable devices (computers, smartphones, IoT devices) to connect and
communicate with each other.
• Resource Sharing: Networks allow for efficient sharing of hardware resources (such as printers,
scanners, and storage devices) and software resources (like applications and databases)
• Communication: Networks support various communication methods, including email, instant
messaging, video conferencing, and Voice over IP (VoIP).
• Access to Information: Networks provide access to vast amounts of information and resources
available on the internet.
• Flexibility and Scalability: Networks can be scaled up or down based on organizational needs.
Businesses can expand their network infrastructure to accommodate growth, add new locations, or
integrate emerging technologies without significant disruption.
• Remote Access and Mobility: Networks enable remote access to organizational resources, allowing
employees to work from anywhere. Mobile networks and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) extend this
capability, supporting remote teams and enhancing flexibility.
 Importance of Subject
17

• Security: While networks facilitate connectivity, they also require robust security measures to protect
against unauthorized access, data breaches, malware, and other cyber threats. Network security
technologies (like firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection systems) are crucial for safeguarding
sensitive information.
• Education and Research: Educational institutions rely on networks for online learning platforms, digital
libraries, research collaboration, and administrative functions. Networks facilitate global access to
educational resources and support academic endeavors.
• Social Connectivity: Beyond business and education, networks play a pivotal role in connecting people
socially through social media platforms, online communities, and entertainment services. They enable
global interaction and cultural exchange.
 Applications of the Subject
18

• Business Applications

• Communication medium

• Home Applications

• Social Issues

• Resource Sharing means

• E-Commerce
