Programs run computers, without programs commanding the computer on what to do and the input data to the program, the computer would just be a screen and components. The programs that run computers are like recipes. These programs have a set of variables, which are like ingredients, and statements, which are like directions. Computers may run other programs, which are also known as applications, which are meant to do other tasks. There are many types of programs, from programs that are used to create files like a letter or brochure to making a presentation. There are also programs created for entertainment, such as playing games, watching movies, or communicating with others. In order for a program to work, there must be input of data. Much like a car, the car must have the key inserted and turned for the car to do anything. Once the car is on, the output is being able to drive or listen to the radio. In a program, information must be inserted for tasks to be done. When the information is inserted, it will display on the screen. You will soon click on the next objective, that inputs data that gives you the output of being able to move on to the next objective. Once data is in, the file can be saved so that it can be opened or viewed later on. If a program has inserted information and is closed without saving, all that information will be lost.

Networks allow all employees to share information while sitting at different desk, print to the same printer, and more. Most networks, if not all, have the following components:
The size of the workplace matters because it will indicate whether you use a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN).
