(LAN), which connects two or more computers so they can share information with in a small area such as a home or a small business. Secondly, there is Wide Area Network (WAN), these computers are a further distance apart from one another and are connected by telephone lines or radio waves. For example, WAN would be used during an online meeting between someone in
America to someone in Asia. The internet is what is connecting these networks togethers so that these two computers can communicate with each
