  Computer networking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Such communicating computer systems constitute a computer network and these networks generally involve at least two devices capable of being networked with at least one usually being a computer.
Computer networking is sometimes considered a sub-discipline of telecommunications, and sometimes of computer science, information technology and computer engineering.
Before the advent of computer networks that were based upon some type of telecommunications system, communication between calculation machines and early computers was performed by human users by carrying instructions between them.

Hammer traces the achievements of the 1930's of electronic-mechanical calculators, the development of the concept of storing "recipes" and data in a computer by John von Neumann in the 1940's, the Eniac in 1946, and the continued development of the computer and the ability of the human to interact with and utilize its power.
Plans for Multiple National Networks Predicting that the use of computers would be one of the most important factors in the economic growth of a country, there was the recognition that there would be increasing use of telecommunications and networks to transport data in the future.
It consists of a geographically distributed set of different computers interconnected by a communication system based on very fast response (interactive) message switching...It is interesting to note," he continues, "that the ARPANET was originally designed with the notion of computer-to-computer communication in mind.

 COMMUNICATIONS
Because most modern communications require a two-way interchange of data and information, this mode of transmission is not as popular as it once was.
Although a computer or cable is lost, if there are other possible routes through the network, the damage of one or several cables or computers may not have vital impact except the involved computers.
It enables the computer to be physically connected to the network cable, which provides the physical layer connection among the computers in the network.

As shown, all computer systems are joined through a communications network that allows them to easily move information (for example, daily cash register receipts) from place to place as necessary.
First, because all users are locally attached to their respective computer system, they often enjoy improved system performance (reduced response time) as compared with remotely attached workstations, which are slowed down by communications line limitations.
With a distributed computing approach, remote users would be locally attached to their distributed system, which could then communicate summary information to other computers through a single communications line.

 Computer-mediated communication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Researchers in communication studies, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology and similar fields look at CMC to observe how language is used in computer-mediated contexts (online discourse environments).
The way humans communicate in professional, social, and educational settings varies widely, depending upon not only the environment but also the method of communication in which the communication occurs (which, in this case, is through computers or other ICTs).
CMC is examined and compared to other communication media through a number of aspects thought to be universal to all forms of communication, including (but not limited to) synchronicity, persistence or "recordability", and anonymity.

 Recognizing and Meeting Title III Concerns in Computer Investigations
In the computer context, both the government and third parties are prohibited from installing "sniffer" computer software, such as the FBI’s Carnivore program, to record keystroke and computer traffic of a specific target unless one of the exceptions is present.
By contrast, if the communication merely passes through a victim’s computer, a court may consider it a strain to conclude that the victim computer is a "party" to the communication.
Computer systems are designed to have hundreds of ports for different types of uses such as electronic mail, remote log-in, or telnet.

 Unified Communications - Computer Business Review
The concept of unified communications (UC) is a descendent and evolution of computer-telephony integration (CTI), which dates back to the late seventies/early eighties and can be defined as "the technology that links the computer, telephone and other services such as voice messaging and fax.
The compelling idea behind UC is for all forms of communication to be delivered on the same platform, enabling smooth and, potentially, seamless transitioning between one and another.
As the dominant mode of non-real-time enterprise communications, email is clearly as logical place to start in building a business in UC as the IP PBX, and both companies seek to leverage their strength in the email market to do so.
