Task 1
WOPR are currently trying to engage new clients and as part of their charm offensive they are trying to convey to potential clients the benefits of a network.
Your manager has asked you to put together a guide to computer networks to be distributed to potential clients. This should include:
· The benefits of computer networks
· The main computer network topologies and types
· The main methods of controlling access to networks
Remember, your guide is for potential clients so should be written with a non-technical audience in mind.
