3.4.9 Discuss networking applications and the implications of networking
for organizations, including internal communications, electronic
mail, e-commerce, conferencing and distributed processing.
Teaching Note:
The use of LANs, public and private WANs and the Internet should
be considered.
JSR Notes:
Key word here is "implications"The text book covers this most amply. Just do note that you are to be able to relate each category mentioned in the assessment statement to LANs, public and private WANs and the Internet. You can think about the difference between a public and private WAN by considering the WAN of some big public group, such as a group of universities, versus the dedicated WAN of some big business.
