What is Moore’s Law, Gilder’s Law and Metcalfe’s Law: 3 Laws to Know…
Three laws to know: Moore’s Law: Moore’s Law states that the processing power of chipset is doubling every 24 months (likewise the cost halves for the same level of processing power). Gilder’s Law: Gilder’s Law states that the bandwidth of communication systems triples every 12 months (likewise costs decrease). Bandwidth grows at least 3 times faster than computer power. (If compute power doubles every 18 months, as per Moore’s Law, then communications power doubles every 6 months.) Metcalfe’s Law: Metcalfe’s Law (the network effect) states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of nodes (likewise the cost of getting connected decrease, but the…

What are the Different Types of Computer Networks?
Well, first, what a great question! There are NUMEROUS different types of networks, just speaking of the technical kind specifically! While all computers essentially need DATA to be useful, it is when two (or more!) computers are connected to each other, that they can exchange/share data and thus compounding/magnifying their usefulness. CAN—Campus Area Network LAN—Local Area Network MAN—Metropolitan Area Network WAN-Wide Area Network SD-WAN—Software Defined Wide Area Network
