File and Data Sharing
At a time, file-sharing consisted mostly of saving documents to floppy disks that could be physically transferred to other computers by hand. With networking, files can be shared instantaneously across the network, whether with one user or with hundreds users
Resource Sharing Computer networking also allows the sharing of network resources, such as printers, scanners, dedicated servers, backup systems, input devices and Internet connections.
Data Protection and Redundancy
Computer networking allows users to distribute copies of important information across multiple locations, ensuring essential information is not lost with the failure of any one computer in the network.
Ease of Administration
Instead of individually upgrading each computer in an organisation, a network administrator can initiate an upgrade from a server and automatically duplicate the upgrade throughout the network
User Communications
Computer networking also allows organisations to maintain complex communication systems. It also allow users to communicate using E-mail, newsgroups, video conferencing etc.
Distributed Computing Power
In computer networks, we can distribute tasks across multiple computers throughout the network, by breaking complex problems into hundreds or thousands of smaller operations, which are then parceled out to individual computers.
Network Gaming
A lot of network games are available, which allow multi-users to play from different locations. It is a type of online game, i.e. played through social networks.
