Answer

The four advantages of networking are:

  1. Hardware Sharing — In a network, we can share almost every peripheral device, such as a printer, scanner, modem, CD writer, etc., among several computers. All these devices are attached to a remote server, which is shared among multiple computers. This reduces the cost of hardware.
  2. Software Sharing — Every application software can be installed on the main server rather than installing it on every computer individually. Computers in a network can use the required software from the server. This technique saves cost as well as time.
  3. Efficiency of Hardware and Software Resources — In a network, modifications in software or hardware are done at a single point. Since the resources are installed at a single point, all modifications are done at that point rather than in individual computers.
  4. Reduces Redundancy — Since people use the same data in a common workplace, they can share it over a network by saving and storing it centrally. This also reduces the redundancy of the same data.
