Networking refers to the practice of connecting computers, devices, and systems to share resources, exchange data, and communicate with each other. This can happen within a small area (like in a home or office) or across vast distances (like the internet).

Types of Networking:

1. Local Area Network (LAN): Connects devices within a limited area, such as an office or home.
2. Wide Area Network (WAN): Covers larger geographical areas, like cities or countries.
3. Wireless Network (Wi-Fi): Uses radio waves to connect devices without physical cables.
4. Personal Area Network (PAN): Connects devices within a personal workspace, like Bluetooth connections.
