Data communication is the transmission of data and information between two or more computers. Many computers need to be able to connect their computer to other computers whether those computers are close by (like the computers in the lab) or far away at a remote site (like your device that you are now using at home and my laptop here at my home). Data communication is what allows you to be able to get this information from my computer. In essence it is the key to online learning, news, banking etc. Essentially every aspect of our societies rely on data communication.
Data communication is essential for electronic mail (e-mail), voice mail, facsimile (fax), telecommuting, video conferencing, Electronic Data Exchange (EDI), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Bulletin board systems (BBS), online services and the internet.
When devices are linked together they form a network so that they can transmit data and information to share files and resources. examples of resources are: printers, CD-ROM drives, disk drives, modems and software programs such as Microsoft office or even databases such as the one that your teachers use to store your grades at school. So a computer network allows for data communication and the sharing of resources between computers.
