digital networks
Connected computer systems
Digital networks are systems of interconnected computers and devices that communicate by transmitting data as discrete signals—typically sequences of ones and zeros.
The Internet is the most prominent example, but digital networks also include local area networks in offices, cellular phone systems, and private corporate infrastructures.
These networks enable everything from email and streaming video to financial transactions and cloud computing.
