A hub is a device used to connect several devices together so they can network with each other. When traffic is sent down the line all devices connected to the hub hear it, a bit like shouting in a room full of people for a particular person, everybody hears it but only the person responds. A Switch on the other hand routes the traffic only to the required destination advice, same as the room but actually going up to the person required and speaking only to them

In networking terms, it's somewhat like a cable splitter for your TV - it's a transparent device that allows multiple computers to be connected (either in a local LAN or to a larger network.) It differs from a switch in how the communication is handled, and that a single packet can be sent to more than one port.

a "dumb" device that connects a network. (usually four or five computers
It is called dumb because it does nothing but physically connect the the computers, all the work of setting up and managing the network must be done on the computers themselves. I.E. addresses etc.
you will get a lot of crosstalk .
