users ac- cessing the program
8.First generation Computers: -stored data using a network of vacuum
tubes
-ENIAC
-Programs written in binary

network - Internet
30.Disk Latency: Delay that takes place between request to access
information and actually accessing that information - amount of time
hard drive takes to open a specific program
31.LAN: A collection of computes and network devices that are
connected on a single network
-ex. Office networks, home networks, classrooms
32.WAN: A collections on LANs and connects multiple networks
over a large geographic area
-ex. The internet
33.Protocols: Rules on how machines can exchange data and provide
communi- cation on a network
34.Physical and Logical: The two types of network protocols
35.Physical protocols: Network protocol describing the wiring, the
connections, and the signal of the wire
36.Logical protocols: Network protocol that describes the software on
how and when the data is sent to the computers
37.Peer to Peer: A network architecture where computers are allowed
to share its individual data as it pleases. All computers can share
resources and provide resources
38.Client server: A network architecture where there are clients who
