[Computer Fundamentals- 22 marks]
1. Answer the following question:                                    (5X2=10)
a)      Define is LAN? How does computer network reduce the cost of operation?

è A local Area Network (LAN) is a network of computers that connects two or more computers within a local area, such as a room or a building.
A computer network helps to reduce initial and operation cost. A computer network allows sharing of resources like hardware, software and services. For example, a printer or one Internet connection can be shared by all users of a network. In this way it helps to save the cost of buying extra hardware or service. Problems of the computers in a network can be solved by one or a few experts from one place. This saves the cost of hiring experts for all the branches of an office and the cost of travel by the expert to different branches.

b)      Write down any four uses of internet.

è The four uses of internet are:-

i.                     The internet facilitates the speedy sharing of information among research and education communities.
