A network is like a group of friends holding hands in a big circle. Each friend is like a computer or a device, and the hands they hold are like the connections between them. When one friend wants to tell a story or share a toy, they can pass it around the circle, and everyone gets to hear or play with it. This is how information or messages are shared in a network.

Think of a network as a spider’s web. The spider sits in the middle, and the web has many strands that reach out to different places. If a bug lands on one part of the web, the spider can feel it because the web is all connected. In a network, if one computer sends a message, all the other computers can feel it or receive it because they are connected by invisible strands.

Imagine a railway system with lots of trains. The tracks are like the network. Trains can travel to different stations, picking up and dropping off passengers. In a network, the information travels like those trains, moving from one place to another, making sure everyone gets what they need.
