Can someone explain to be what a NETWORK does? (I am referring to computers/connecting computers)!?

I know a network means that your computers will be connected, but can someone explain WHAT is conencted?? like just data (my documents, pictures), or even what the INTERNET HISTORY? can person from one -CONNECTED- computer see what the person are the other -CONNCTED- computer is doing on the internet?

In simple terms, it means that the computers can talk to each other. What you do with that depends on the software you use to utilize this connection. Your operating system (probably Windows) will allow you to share files from one computer on a network to another (if ''sharing'' is configured). If your computers are networked by means of a router, you can share your Internet connection over the network to the computers on your network.



Windows does not to my knowledge allow you to view the Internet History of another computer on your network. To do that you would have to install software on said computer to monitor its Internet usage.



Other uses for networks if for gaming. Because two computers are networked (communicating), a game (that supports networked play) running on both computers can join the two players in one game to play with or against each other.
