Data Transmission and Networks

Having a computer on its own is useful, such as a smartphone or tablet, digitally controlled central heating or washing machine. Having a computer being able to communicate with other computers is even more useful.

Starter: Aim for 5 examples (and benefits) of computers communicating with each other.
