Without standards, you have no idea what you have.
Network could be insecure.
Computers on network could be intruded on.
Computers on network could get viruses.
Networked devices and computers might be unreliable.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

Hmmm gotta do that computer homework. The reason for standards in networking is so that the different manufacturers will be able to make devices that work with those already out there. If everyone had their own standard "the de facto standard" would end up being whoever marketed their standard better then everyone else.

Networking is communication between computers.
Without standards used by all PCs communication would be unreliable & difficult.
Think of it as a language of sorts. If you & I were now not following the same standards for the English language how could we know what the other was really saying ?

It's hard, if not nearly impossible to understand someone who speaks another language. Standards are basic sets of rules which allow computers the ability to understand each other.

standards are created so that everyone everywhere uses the same information/programming etc.......it makes everything start from the same point.....so that it works the same no matter what.......
