Communication is beneficial for the human race. By communicating with one another, information can be shared - past experience, current affairs, predictions of the future — from here, there and everywhere. Also, resources and expertise can be shared, by communicating with the right people. Only hermits are noted for their ability to live satisfactorily in the absence of any communication with other people.
Similar observations apply to computers too. Individual computers are capable of gathering, processing, storing and distributing information, under the direction of humans. They are not only found in distinctive boxes with keyboards, mice and screens attached, or in large cabinets bristling with flashing lights and whirling tape drives, as seen in ageing science fiction films. Their basic information-handling capabilities can be harnessed for controlling other machinery, and so they are also hidden inside things like wristwatches, microwave ovens, central heating systems, factory production line equipment and nuclear power plant safety systems. There are three main areas where benefits can be expected if one computer is able to communicate with others: it can get information that is stored by other computers; it can get other computers to do specialized work; and it can communicate with humans that use other computers.

Links: Just as human communication devices like the telephone and television are underpinned by physical media, including electrical cables and broadcasts in the electro-magnetic spectrum, so are computer communications. This book is not concerned with the physical details of how such media are put to work, but only
