 What is a Computer
Network?
 Computer network, two or more computers that are connected
with one another for the purpose of communicating data
electronically over transmission lines/Media.
Types of networks are
 Basic Terminologies
 Internets–The Internet is a massive network of networks,
a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computers
together globally, forming a network in which any computer
can communicate with any other computer as long as they are
both connected to the Internet.
 World Wide Web
 The World Wide Web (WWW),
commonly known as the Web, is
an information system where
documents and other web
resources are identified by Uniform
Resource .

• The World Wide Web

(WWW) is combination of
all resources and users on
the Internet that are using
the Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP).
