Networking Concepts and Terminology

The video tutorial by Murali from Free Code Camp explains the concept of networks, starting with basic human communication and transitioning to how computers communicate. It covers the creation of networks using routers, the difference between LAN and WAN, the role of Network Interface Cards (NIC), and the importance of MAC addresses. The tutorial also discusses data collision and avoidance in network communication.
