"Netwokr, what is?"


Since we all have been networking, why not think about what was behind the network in the first place? What are the benefits, other than chatting or establishing business deals etc. When did it start, why and what results?

No doubt that network can be enriching experience in many ways at the same time can be an addiction too and time thief. The following information is what I came up with and would like to share it. Your feedback is more than welcome for it is part of network.

Network has been deliberated to improve on the human well being, health wise, emotionally and mentally. It was purposed to study the human psychology, social needs and to provide a source of therapy and existentialism for students and practitioners. The study was to help researchers identifying what really matters to working people and to help employers to make work as healthy and consequential as possible.

The definition of network is a thread, open string, cord, crossing each other or wire woven together at regular intervals. Interval is anything that presents a system of cross lines. Network is informal communications to link members, of different social classes, professions and organizations in order to provide connections, information and positive discrimination. As Network is about expanding oneself and his/her boundaries to learn more about our hidden abilities that we have never thought we had. As well through we learning new skills such as communications skills.

In information technology, a network is a series of points or nodes. A node is a connection point, either a reorganization point or an end point for data transmissions. The general meaning of a node is what has programmed or designed competence to recognize, process or forward transmissions to other nodes. Networks can interconnect with other networks and contain sub-networks.

Most of business nowadays, are conducted through internet. We can establish serious business with people that never met, yet we still can build trust and confidence! Have you ever met Microsoft team!? Most likely no. Yet, you have the full confidence to download their products from the internet, right? Also, you can start to talk about yourself to someone you never met and with time, you have certain level of trust and can increase or decrease with time. Why? Because through writings we can tell a lot about each other no matter how one may tries to hid the true himself/herself.

Having said that and to reach such results, time and experiences are needed as anything else. No one was born knowing everything rather nothing at all. So keep in touch with people whom you think are interesting to you. When we are asked about what we do, it is our chance to explain what we have done, what we are doing now and what our goals are in the future. We never know, probably we are the persons they are looking for!!

The way preparing and presenting our profiles is very vital so that when members read about us, something should grab their attention to request the connection. Of course what we claim to be must true, otherwise, sooner or later will come up on the surface. If you do not get contacted, never get disappointed. There are several reasons for that, think about them!. We can always take the initial and contact with whom we find common interest. The best way is to show interest in their interest rather than imposing one self’s business. Through the network, people need to first know enough and trust the person sitting on the other side of his/her computer to build that confidence. Back to Microsoft example, it is matter of time and reputation.

The most common configurations of networks include the bus. A bus is a network of circuit arrangement in which all devices are attached to a line directly and all signals pass through each of the devices. Each device has a unique identity and can recognize those signals intended for it.

So, we are the Nodes or Bus, need to be connected for many reasons and for verity of benefits. As for the meaning of network is communicating regularly with individuals within group or groups. Human interactions has powerful impact on each one of us and plays important roles whether to continue or discontinue the connections.

Wish you all successful network.
