2. What is it?  Networking is two or more computers linked together  Two common types are Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN)

3.  LAN is small network area like an office or building  Information is stored in a file server  Print servers let many people use the same printer

4.  WAN has a wide geographical area  Four types of Wide Area Networks are: Metropolitan Area Network(MAN), Public Access Network (PAN), Value Added Network (VAN), an Virtual Private Network (VPN)

5.  Though LAN and WAN are common types of networks, there are others!  Two types are Intranet and Extranet

6.  Intranet is a private LAN that’s made to be used by everyone in an organization  It may have an internal e-mail system, message from board  Restricted by a firewall to have access to intranet’s web

7.  Extranet connects people within company that is outside of the company  Is a secure password protected network that anyone can access

8.  MAN is two or more computers which are geographically separated but in same metropolitan city  For example: University, hospital, business

9.  Networks can be grouped into topology like: Bus topology, Star topology, and Ring topology  The topology shows the relation of the device and network

10.  If a networked computer is connected to a hub, it has Star topology, instead of Bus topology  It depends on the physical layout

11.  Can share information  Share hardware  Share Software  Collaborative environment

12.  Computer hackers  Virus attacks

13. There are so many careers in computer science! One specific career is a web developer!

14.  The job of a Web Designer/ Developer has the responsibility of the Website’s looks and how it works  They program codes, test and upload the site!  They must also have a creative imagination

15.  Web Designers have training on the job  Web Designers will have a salary of over £18,000 to £40,000 or more!
