For example, the sender and the receiver speak the same language to perform a certain task like printing a paper. Earlier these systems were very complex. They were wired they required constant cabling to prevent any breakdown. Nowadays, network systems are much more untangled than it used to be. The idea of wireless internet Wi-Fi changed it all. People connect laptops, tablets, and many other devices and do stuffs like browsing gaming etc. without any complicated process.
