Why is networking crucial?

At the onset of this book, I mentioned just a few examples of how networking plays a role in our daily lives. I remember many years ago I purchased a cross-over network cable to play multi-player StarCraft with my brother sitting in the next room. This was a time when network switches were not so easy to come by. Back then, networking was relatively simple but looking at how it has evolved is amazing. In today’s world of big data, cloud networks, quantum computing, blockchain technology, smart homes, and more, we are surrounded by networks that range from simple to highly complex. If I had to sum up a few reasons why networking is crucial, here they are:

  • Enables collaboration and information sharing
  • Overcomes geographic separation
  • Enables communication across the world
  • Enables voice telephony over long distances
  • Enables the sharing of media and enables gaming
