Cabury 'eyebrow raising' advert

To recreate this you would have to use animation, this would allow people to use cartoony characters and anable people to recreate it without using the same people, however people could find totally new characters and use hardware like computer animation in the real world like using fake eyebrows on real people.

Network

A file server is a computer attached to a network that has the primary purpose of providing a location for the shared storage of computer files.

A firewall is an integrated collection of security measures designed to prevent unauthorized electronic access to a networked computer system. It is also a device or set of devices configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt, or proxy all computer traffic between different security domains based upon a set of rules and other criteria.

A network switch is a computer networking device that connects network segments.

A modem is an internal or external computer hardware device that connects your computer to a phone line and, if you wish, to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that can link you to the Internet.

A network interface card, more commonly referred to as a NIC, is a device that allows computers to be joined together in a LAN, or local area network.

A hub is a small, simple, inexpensive device that joins multiple computers together.

A network operating system (NOS) is software that controls a network and its message (e.g. packet) traffic and queues, controls access by multiple users to network resources such as files, and provides for certain administrative functions, including security.

The Physical Layer is the first level in the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking. It translates communications requests from the data.

Routers are physical devices that join multiple wired or wireless networks together.

Network topologies

The 3 main network topologies:

- Star - All computers and devices are connected to a centrally located hub or switch.
- Bus - All computers and devices are connected in series to a single linear cable called a trunk or sometimes called a backbone.
- Ring - In this topology, all computers and devices are connected to cable that forms a closed loop.

Star

Pros
Better Performance
Isolation of devices
Benefits from centralization

Cons
High dependence on the system
Network size is limited
Wiring up of the system can be very complex

Bus

Pros
Easy to implement and extend
Cheaper than other technologies
Cost effective as only a single cable is used

Cons
Limited cable length and number of stations
Maintenance costs may be higher in the long run
It is slower than the other topologies

Ring

Pros
Very orderly network where every device has access to the token and the opportunity to transmit
Can create much larger network using token ring
Performs better than a star topology under heavy network load

Cons
Moves, adds and changes of devices can affect the network
Much slower than an Ethernet network under normal load
Network adapter cards and MAU’S are much more expensive than Ethernet cards and hubs
