Advantages of Networking Your Home Computers
Advantages of Networking Your Home Computers
Computers have become an integral part of our life, not just at work but at home as well. It is not unusual for a household to have two or more computers. Just like an office, you can network your home computers together in order to share documents, photos, video, and more. Many homeowners have discovered that a home network is an affordable solution to sharing your family’s high-speed Internet connection and computing resources.
A network is a system that connects two or more computers together so that they can share information and the use of peripherals. Before this technology was readily available, consumers had to buy each computer its own printer, scanner, and Internet access. This made adding another computer a very expensive proposition.

We’ve all seen the adverts, the one with the woman in the cab, the other with the mother setting the internet usage time for her kids and another with the man explaining “his” idea on the treadmill in the gym. Love or hate them I am sure we will be seeing more of these campaign ads from Microsoft in order to win-over home users to upgrade their existing Vista computers, or to persuade Windows XP users to invest in their latest operating system.
However, this post is not to discuss the likes or dislikes of Windows 7, nor is it to criticise Microsoft’s marketing ideas. This post is to discuss one of those adverts in particular and it is the advert of the father explaining how “his powers know no limits” as he discovered (what seems to be exclusively with Windows 7) how to print, share information and media wirelessly throughout his home.
