How does electronic conferencing facilitate communication?

• By enabling real-time communication through digital platforms, allowing instant exchange of information and ideas.

• By limiting communication to one-way interactions, hindering collaboration.

• By increasing the complexity of communication tools, making it harder to share ideas.

• By slowing down communication processes, causing delays in information exchange.

Why is authentication important in network security?

• Authentication is not important in network security

• Authentication only slows down network access

• Authentication helps prevent unauthorized access and protects sensitive information from being compromised.

• Authentication increases the risk of data breaches

What are the advantages of using a LAN?

• LANs provide slow data transfer speeds

• LANs are expensive to set up

• LANs have limited security features

• LANs provide high data transfer speeds, low latency, cost-effectiveness, easy resource sharing, and enhanced security.

How does electronic conferencing help in saving time and resources?

• Electronic conferencing increases travel time and resource wastage

• Electronic conferencing hinders communication and collaboration

• Electronic conferencing saves time by enabling real-time communication and collaboration, reducing the need for travel, and facilitates quick decision-making and information sharing, leading to more efficient resource utilization.

• Electronic conferencing slows down decision-making and information sharing

What are the disadvantages of using a WAN?
