System Efficiency Test Q6 - YES

You don't actually have to have all your computers networked, but it is generally a good idea.

One of the reasons is obviously the ease of access of information from other computers across the network. It enables particular files or databases to be kept on computers which have excess capabilities to their use, speeding up the use of harder working computers.

These days with modern applications it is possible to set security permissions to restrict access to those files which are not for everyone to see, only those authorised to do so.

However, if you are using wireless networks, be aware of the possible security implications.
