During elementary school I do not pay attention to that word however in high school that word is very much associated in computer programming or computer-related operations. In my college days it is associated with the internet and now I associate it with business. Lately someone told me that life revolves around networking. With that, I ask myself: What is a network? I know some would say look it up in the dictionary but I say the definition in the dictionary are for beginners. What am I looking for is a complex, deeper understanding of the word "network" because it has become associated with life. Any ideas you would like to share?

From what I understand, a network is a string of something interconnected together. Webster can definitely give a better example on this one because I'm not really good in giving definitions.

A network is a net that can help people work and it also can work itself.It connects people and transport imformations just online.That is a network I think.
