First of all, networks allow communication made faster and easier. It has become faster and easier to communicate with anyone from any part of the world. Using the internet, we can make video calls and hold online conferences. In businesses, it has given rise to the transfer of the newest technology and information easier and faster which ensures that no part of the world is kept from any new revolution. This has further given rise to the phenomenon of globalization reducing the distances and improving the mobility of information around the globe.

Besides that, networks help business to grow. It help us to store important business data in a centralized location and retrieve important data from the main location. Additionally, networks allow us access the data from the other computers on the same network, and modify it according to our needs. Networks enable employees to share ideas more easily and work more efficiently. It increases their productivity and generates more income for the company. More importantly, computer networking improves the way companies offer their services to the world.

Furthermore, networks help us to save cost when sharing resources. A good networking setup will reduce the amount of money we spend on hardware. For examples, we don’t have to plug in a USB drive, copy the files, and then walk over to a computer with a printer, repeating the process. We would simply use the network to connect to the printer directly. We will be able to simply copy files from any other network computer.

Moreover, network allow us to have a greater flexibility. For instance, we can take our tablet in a meeting, and start a document. We can also move onto your own office computer and continue working in the document, exactly where we left off. When colleagues invite us for a break, we may show them our document from our smartphone. All of this is possible if the document resides on a central file server, and our network includes a wireless connection.

            Lastly, network also play a role in client-server configuration. Through a computer network, the employees of an organization can access the organization’s databases remotely. In a client-server configuration, the organization’s data is stored in servers, which are powerful computers that can hold massive amounts of data and are managed by system administrators. The employees use the simpler computers on their desks, called clients, to access the data from the server remotely.

            In conclusion, setting up a computer network is a fast and reliable way of sharing information and resources. It can help us make the most of our IT systems and equipment. It ensure the maximum efficiency and productivity of business company.

The network also a crucial part of business, it affects the way companies communicate and establish relations with their clients. In this time, merchants or companies usually contact or updating the information via email to their clients.  And nowadays, there is a lot of e-commerce that exists on the internet and many persons like to shopping online and it was also the source of income of a person. Even the paying method, E-Wallet, that we using frequently in this time and the transaction also can be done easily through networking.

 

Besides that, networks also play an important role in the entertainment field. The rapid growth of network technology effect the innovation of television and radio broadcasting causing the rapid increase in numbers of programming alternatives such as satellite television, satellite radio, video-on-demand, and the availability of television programs on the Internet. The TV show or the live show can be displayed clearly on the television and some monitor is because of networking too. So that, we will lose a lot of entertainment without networks.

 

Furthermore, networks also impacted our life in the aspect of communication. There were various types of networks around us such as WAN, LAN, and PAN. Computer networks support human communication via electronic mail (e-mail), chat rooms, newsgroups, and audio and video transmission and allow people to work collaboratively at many different locations. The networks also allowed us to access certain things online at the same time because the computers are linked in order to share resources. It made a large improvement in our life and let our life become more convenient.

 

Lastly, networking also helps a lot in education. Students can conduct their discussions or prepare for their projects online without any obstacle. They can collaborate on their tasks at the same time and it will increase efficiency. At this moment of suffering the disease of covid-19, to make sure that the students can continue their learning journey in a safe environment, many of the institutions conducted their classes online through some specific platforms such as Google Meet, Microsoft Meet, Zoom, etc. It was also the contribution of networks.

 

There were the facts that show that networks play an important role in a person’s life.

Networks brings convenience to a person life. In 1979, Michael Aldrich decided to use another way to develop his business so he connects with a modified domestic television show. He used a telephone with the real- time multi-user transaction processing computer to complete the new way of shopping. With this, this is the first-time people is able to buy items through television. Since then, it went through a slow evolution and today online shopping become our necessities and it makes our life more convenient. By doing online shopping we could avoid wasting of time on traffic jam, fight for a parking lot, spend money on fuel and others. By using online shopping, we don’t have these concerned we just open our computer or phone then we could save our time and shop wherever or whenever we want. (Asher Rospigliosi (2017))

   Besides that, with the development of networks, we could access on-time news easily. Today, most of the people was able to get timely news immediately and avoid the delay of information. As we know, newspaper needs time to be publish, print and delivered, with network, we could easily obtain the information while the newspaper is still preparing. Let’s take an example from the past MCO, right before we start MCO, we obtained all information through online and the government was taking proactive action to control the spread of Covid -19 with network. With all the immediate information, most of the company was able to make arrangements depending of the new norm and continue their daily operations smoothly. (Melissa D.JOHNSON (2020))

   In addition, networks help country to reduce the spreading of Covid-19. Because of Covid – 19, people around the world have to work from home and citizens has to follow the new rules and regulation, which is social distancing and reduce the chance to leave home. By having the help of network, people are able to maintained their daily life. For example, students that are just graduated from secondary school and planning for college. However, Covid – 19 brings up a huge concerned, how could a person continue his study without able to leave their house? Luckily, we had network, it helps the students to solve their concerned by letting them to study online. By going online, it reduces the risk people exposed to the disease and helps to continue their daily necessities.

   Furthermore, networks support business become stronger. For example, as a multinational company, that having different branches all around the world, they would need to synchronize their data from time to time and maintained an effective communication method. So, company can use Wide Area Network to share the data which allows you to share your data without having concerned that it will be leaked all over the Internet. This will make the branches that located in different place was able to work easily without taking an airplane to the other country and meet. Beside that, network attached storage is also a useful network for business. For example, you can save all your data inside NAS it is very helpful for business to store their data. With NAS you will able to store large amount of data easily and it also got a strong security and you can backup your data easily. So, this is helpful for those company to store and arrange their data easily. (Sean McCormack (2018))

   Lastly, network helps people increase knowledge and solve some problems. Many professional that from different field like to share their experience and knowledge through network. For student and workers, it is very helpful to grow their job or studies. For example, as a worker, if you wish to have some development on certain soft skills or technique, you could go online and enrolled in any course available in the internet. As a student, if you faced difficulties in solving certain problem or need a deeper understanding in the parts that is confusing, network is always the best solution for you to find a solution there.

   In conclusion, network have affected in our life and it makes a lot of changes in our life in my opinion network have become an important thing for most of the people. This is because network make our life become better.

Without networks, several things would cease to exist and cause a great deal of devastation. For instance, the economy will plummet without Internet due to its reliance on online shopping, financial transactions, and advertising on social media. There would be no online communications such as texting or video calling, and thousands of people would be unemployed. Therefore, networks are extremely important in people’s daily lives.

 

Social networking helps a person build strong relationships and connections that can be an advantage to advancing in their careers or broadening a person’s point of view. Networking with people from diverse backgrounds, professions, or nationalities can help a person learn more and improve communication skills as well.

First is Internet, the Internet has turned our existence upside down. It has revolutionized communications, to the extent that it is now our preferred medium of every day communication. We use the Internet in almost everything we do. One of the pros of the Internet is that we can create new social contact all around the globe which we could not do it easily without the Internet. Such as communities can also help people who had difficulties going out making friends in real life because they are disabled. Therefore we can chat with other people via the Internet. There are no time and place limitations since the birth of Internet. For example, we can chat with our friends in United State and we have the freedom of our mind in a way.

Secondly, networks changing the way we live, learn, play and live. In almost everything we do, we use the internet. Ordering food, buy grocery, upload photo to social media. Before the development of internet, we will have to drive to the actual store to get what we wanted . But now with the help of internet, within a few clicks, we are able to order the items we wanted. This saves so much of our time and energy.

Moreover, Internet also changed the way people communicate. Network can enhance communication between employees in an organization and also external clients. Modern technology has drastically improve the speed and reduce the time we communicate. An email can be send within seconds. Text messaging also allows us to send short messages to each other's phones in seconds. We can reach anyone by telephone almost anywhere with the continued development of network coverage. Instant messaging and video conferencing allow groups of people to speak in real time from all over the country and world without the need to travel around.

Most companies also have an intranet, a private network that belongs to the company. It allows communication between employees and between branches. Some companies also have an extranet, a network (or network resources) to provide suppliers, vendors, customers, limited access to corporate data. Example of common data to be shared are order status, inventory, part lists. The use of technology like VPN(virtual private network) allows employees to access company’s intranet remotely. Work can be done even though the employee is outstation or at home. In certain countries, there is a rising trend on the concept of “working from home”. Employees are no longer require to go to the office every day. Communications with other employees or clients can be done online.

Therefore these shows that network play an important role in a person life.

Communication is an essential of the human’s life. Nowadays, the speed of the technology is growing rapidly which makes communication an ease. Making a phone call in the modern days and in the old days is way different. In the old days, making a phone call is a pain. You must walk to the nearest payphone, and it is very expensive to make a simple call. But now with your cell phone, you just click few buttons and you can make a call. You can also use them to have instant messaging. Imagine there is no network and we must send mail to each other. That takes so much time and effort to send a simple message around the globe. But with network, it is an ease to perform any chat online.

            Technology has improved much in the field of education too. For instances, due to MCO (Covid-19), students must stay at home                                      and are not allowed to go back to school. Online classes have been introduced to the student and it is an ease to have classes online with network. One can use the network to find any information with a click of button, any knowledge can be shared through the network to everyone. It is hard not to admit that network have transformed the modern world.

            Radio and Television is now very common to most of the people due to rapid growth of network technology. We can now watch any movies, dramas or hear any songs that we want. Telephone company provides all the options for us to have a very good viewing experience. In the old days, the whole village must sit in front of a big screen at the coffee shop just to watch Lee Chong Wei plays badminton. Now with the network technology, everything is possible.

            In the business field, network technology plays an important part. It affects the relationship established with their clients. When you want to do business with somebody, you must know them well first. Some big websites or most of the websites uses cookie to get to know their clients well. For instances, Amazon uses cookies to collect data from the clients such as searches, page visited etc. The data is then analysed for Amazon to recommend some products according to the analytics. It is vital for them to interact with clients regularly and quickly gain their trust and to obtain customer loyalty.

            That is it for my article about the role of network towards person’s life, Thank You. Please be sure to leave a comment down below. I accept any criticize for any wrong information.

So, how network plays a role in a person’s life? Internet is an extra resource library for us to get more information. Some websites are specifically set up to solve different problems in different fields. These avenues can be used by an individual as an extra source of information. The same thing applies to networking. A platform that is designed specifically aligned to our career can be an extra resource library for us. This offers you with updated information on the latest career tendency related to us. This network resource also provides us access to tap into them whenever we need them.


  Next, the network also helps us build confidence in our life. It is a good platform for us to meet new friends. We are effectively stepping outside our comfort zone and building invaluable social skills and self-confidence that we can use it in anywhere. The more we network, the more we will grow and learn how to make lasting connections with each other.


  Besides, the network improves our creative intellect to enhance our work and task. Aspirations and great innovations are most times form the external factors around where we find ourselves. The intellectual ability in different careers is significantly improved upon from contacts we have built with other persons over a period. Even a simple interaction with one person can transform a year-long research work and result in a breakthrough.


  Moreover, the network can advance our careers in our life. Being visible and getting noticed is a benefit of networking that is essential in building your career. Regularly attending professional and social events will help to build up your professional profile, which in turn keeps you top of mind when new opportunities and job openings arise. Professional networking opens many doors in the form of career advice, lasting relationships and even landing your dream job. 


  Further, networking is a long-term investment. While we may not be searching for like-mindedness or perhaps we are compatibility and shared interests are essential for networking. Hence, networking will help you meet like-minded people or people who are compatible with you in terms of future ideas, life goals, aspirations, and other plans. Think about this, being part of a network of people today means you could be a member of a joint hedge fund tomorrow. And don’t worry, it does not  mean we have to be from a wealthy family.


In conclusion, the network really plays an important in our life. It brings us a lot of benefits throughout our life and makes our life becomes more convenient and meaningful. Without the internet, we cannot complete our task easily but so how just a one-click button and everything is solved effortlessly. We must thank that our technology is improving and enhancing day by day in our life.

 First of all, the first fact that network plays an important role in our daily life is communication. Nowadays, technologies evolve rapidly so communication becomes much easier than before. A network allows all the network users to share and receive files, view other’s people work, and exchange ideas more efficiently. Furthermore, network users can communicate quickly by sending messages through e-mail or instant messaging tools such as Whatsapp, WeChat, Messenger, and others. After that, the message will be store in our e-mail and instant messaging tools for future reference. E-mail and instant messaging tools are more useful and convenient compare to writing an actual letter. After writing an actual letter, the letter will be posted by the postman and it will take a long time to receive by the receiver. In addition, Voice Over IP ( VoIP ) is the transmission of voice and multimedia content over Internet Protocol ( IP ) networks. For example, telephone calls are made through VoIP instead of the regular analog phone lines.

 

           Next, the fact that the network plays a role in the field of gaming in our daily life. The network allows users to play games with another user connected by physical or wireless. For example, PUBG Mobile is a game that allows multiplayer to play together by connecting to the Internet.

 

           The third fact that the network plays a role in the field of education in our daily life. During the Movement Control Order ( MCO ), all the Malaysia primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, and universities are not allowed to open so many schools execute online learning. Although teachers cannot meet students face to face but students can learn very well through online learning. They use educational appliances to collaborate with teachers, for example, Google Classroom, Udemy, Blackboard, and so on.

 

           Fourthly, the fact that the network plays a role in our daily life is business. E-commerce, also known as electronic commerce is very popular in our daily life, so many sellers started their goal in conducting business over the Internet. The reason e-commerce becomes popular is e-commerce is more convenient, more productivity, and lower cost than traditional retailers. Besides online shopping, we can also buy our airline ticket, book a hotel, buy music album, and buy books through the network. During this COVID-19 pandemic now, we can buy groceries and anything online to avoid going out. There are many types of e-commerce, the most popular forms are Business-to-Consumer ( B2C ), Business-to-business ( B2B ), Consumer-to-consumer ( C2C ), Government-to-Consumer ( G2C ) and Peer-to-Peer ( P2P ) and others.

 

           Lastly, the network plays a role in our daily life by providing television and radio broadcasting. Nowadays, we can watch live news, live football competitions, live competition, and others through the network. The network lets us know the breaking news around us or worldwide. The online newspaper is more convenient and lower cost than a traditional newspaper, some online newspapers are free for cost. We can access an online newspaper with just a few clicks while we must take the traditional newspaper page by page.

Entertainment is also getting much more fun these days. We can stream video and movies online at our leisure time. The online games that we all play also required networking.

Secondly, network technology can enhance the communication between employees in a company and even external clients. With the use of Internet and online social networks, we no longer need to meet face to face for discussion. We can also interact with our clients and answer all their questions through Internet. By this way, we can save lots of times and money as we no longer need to travel to places for meeting every time. Nowadays, there is a rising trend on E-business as well.

Not only that, networking affects the way of how we buy or sell things. Most of the bills can be pay by online as well. Online shopping is becoming more common today. We just choose the products that we want and pay them online. We can just sit at our home and the products will be delivered right to our doorstep.

Furthermore, television broadcast also requires networking too. Look at how much time the elderly spends their time every day on TV programs and that is how important networking is. Without networking, television broadcast is impossible.

Lastly, networking allows us to study from home. Teachers can have online class session and share learning resources with the students online. For example, due to the pandemic of covid-19, students in INTI are using blackboard collaborate to study. Teachers can post the notes and slides on blackboard and give students online classes. Students can also submit their homework and assignment to blackboard.

These are just some of the example of networking and there are still many more. In conclusion, networking do play an important role in our daily life.

THE OSI MODEL: THE 7 LAYERS IN NETWORKING EXPLAINED

 The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)  was developed by the International Organization for Standardization in 1984 to enable different types of networks to be linked together.  The model contains seven layers, as shown in the Figure below. These layers describe networking functions from the physical network interface to the software applications interfaces. The intent of the OSI model is to provide a framework for networking that ensures compatibility in the network hardware and software and to accelerate the development of new networking technologies.  Physical layer Provides the electrical and mechanical connection to the network. Examples of technologies working in this layer are Electronic Industries Alliance/Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA/TIA)–related technologies, UTP, fiber, and network interface cards (NICs).  It uses topologies: BUS, STAR, RING, MESH Communication modes: Simplex, Half Duplex, Full Duplex Hardware including networking devices, antennas, c

NETWORKING: PACKET TRACER - IoT

In simple terms the IoT is a connection of :  networked sensors, actuators, and smart devices that collect and share data.   Packet Tracer 7 contains many new features to support the IoT.  This includes the addition of IoT devices that can be configured to react to certain environmental values such as sun, wind, rain, and humidity. These devices can be configured to take actions based on the changing environmental values, such as turning on lights or closing garage doors.  The next parts of learning will include instructions to locate the IoT devices, to connect them to your network, to configure and modify scripts to make them function, and to control these devices remotely.

HOW CAN CLIENT / SERVER NETWORK MODEL BE A CHANGE FOR YOU??

WHAT IS CLIENT / SERVER?  In the client-server network model (which is sometimes called the client-server architecture or client-server topology), resources are managed by the network operating system through a centralized directory database.  The database can be managed by one or more servers, as long as they have the same network operating system. In the midst of a WINDOWS SERVER   controls network access to a group of computers, this LOGICAL group is known as Windows DOMAIN .  The centralized directory database that keeps user account information & security for the entire group of computers is called AD (Active Directory) .   Each user on the network has his/her own domain level account assigned by the network administrator and kept in Active Directory .   A user can sign on to the network from any computer on the network and get access to the resources that Active Directory allows.
