What is Networking.?

Answer 1

Networking is the scientific and engineering discipline concerned with communication between computer systems. Such networks involve at least two devices capable of being networked with at least one usually being a computer. The devices can be separated by a few meters (e.g. via Bluetooth) or thousands of kilometers (e.g. via the Internet). Computer networking is sometimes considered a sub-discipline of telecommunications.
or
The use of transmission lines to join geographically separated computers.

Answer 2

The linking of a number of devices, such as computers, workstations, printers, and AV gear into a network (system) for the purpose of sharing resources. Progressive Scan The process of creating an image on a screen by scanning or illuminating each line in the image one after the other. Return to the top Rear Projection TV A type of television in which the image is projected onto a screen from behind. SDTV Short for Standard Definition TV.

Answer 3

Networking is connecting many computers into a physical network. This helps to exchange information between computers

Answer 4

Networking occurs any time you connect two or more computers together so that they can share resources....

Say for example, you can have a computer upstairs in your house and one downstairs, and you might have a wireless network in your home. You could share the "Hard disks" (What you store your documents and photos on) so that the person upstairs can look at the photos on the computer downstairs. That is very simply networking....

Here are a couple of links that can explain it better than i...

Spider can produce like silk, and they can build controlled net in the air to hunt in the web. This is spider network.

Cellular phone companies are keeping connectivity among all the phones, called phone network.

There are number of protocols through which data are transmitting in the web known as Internet network.

History

Carrying instructions between calculation machines and early computers was done by human users. In September, 1940 George Stibitz used a teletype machine to send instructions for a problem set from his Model K at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire to his Complex Number Calculator in New York and received results back by the same means. Linking output systems like teletypes to computers was an interest at the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) when, in 1962, J.C.R. Licklider was hired and developed a working group he called the "Intergalactic Network", a precursor to the ARPANet. In 1964, researchers at Dartmouth developed the Dartmouth Time Sharing System for distributed users of large computer systems. The same year, at MIT, a research group supported by General Electric and Bell Labs used a computer (DEC's PDP-8) to route and manage telephone connections. In 1968 Paul Baran proposed a network system consisting of datagrams or packets that could be used in a packet switching network between computer systems. In 1969 the University of California at Los Angeles, SRI (in Stanford), University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of Utah were connected as the beginning of the ARPANet network using 50 kbit/s circuits.

Networks, and the technologies needed to connect and communicate through and between them, continue to drive computer hardware, software, and peripherals industries. This expansion is mirrored by growth in the numbers and types of users of networks from researchers

Priya here is the answer.........about

A. In the world of computers, networking is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data. Networks are built with a mix of computer hardware and computer software.
Area Networks
Networks can be categorized in several different ways. One approach defines the type of network according to the geographic area it spans. Local area networks (LANs), for example, typically reach across a single home, whereas wide area networks (WANs), reach across cities, states, or even across the world. The Internet is the world's largest public WAN.

Network Design
Computer networks also differ in their design. The two types of high-level network design are called client-server and peer-to-peer. Client-server networks feature centralized server computers that store email, Web pages, files and or applications. On a peer-to-peer network, conversely, all computers tend to support the same functions. Client-server networks are much more common in business and peer-to-peer networks much more common in homes.

A network topology represents its layout or structure from the point of view of data flow. In so-called "bus" networks, for example, all of the computers share and communicate across one common conduit, whereas in a "star" network, all data flows through one centralized device. Common types of network topologies include bus, ring and mesh.

Network Protocols
In networking, the communication language used by computer devices is called the protocol. Yet another way to classify computer networks is by the set of protocols they support. Networks often multiple protocols to support specific applications. Popular protocols include TCP/IP, the most common protocol found on the Internet and in home networks.

Wired vs Wireless Networking
Many of the same network protocols, like TCP/IP, work in both wired and wireless networks. Networks with Ethernet cables has predominated in businesses, schools, and homes for several decades. Recently, however, wireless networking alternatives have emerged as the premier technology for building new computer networks

Answer 8

networking means connecting more than a computers with an interface media (cables) to share their files and resources(printer,fax machine etc)

Answer 9

why don't u refer the book "Computer Networks 4th Ed - Andrew S. Tanenbaum" .it will give u all information about computer networks.
