Question

Computer networking is a reality today. Smartphones, televisions, even devices such as pacemakers and thermostats are now wirelessly connected. Perhaps a better way to understand the importance of networking is to consider what sort of business cannot benefit from networking.

For the first part of the discussion, the challenge is to provide an industry or type of business that would not benefit from computer networking. This may be hard, but be creative. Don't worry about being correct, because in the reply to this discussion, think about the business or industry suggested by a fellow student and consider how computer networking might still be used as a benefit.

Answer 1

In my opinion, I believe the business which would not benefit from computer networking is the business in which manpower is required, i.e., labour work. Although, machines can be used to reduce manpower to some extent, but still manpower will be required to operate those machines. To make sure the whole network system is working properly, human intervention is required. So basically, the human jobs can be reduced to some extent but not completely using networking.

In this type of business, Computer Networking can be used as a benefit by automating some jobs which are done routinely same everytime without any changes. But for things which require reasoning and rational thinking, for those jobs automation cannot be done and also for keeping track whether all the things are working properly or not, human help is required. So we can say, the business in which manpower is required, that business cannot be totally benefitted with computer networking.

Hope I answered your question.
