Question

Desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones and other devices are made by different companies, yet they are all able to access the Internet. This has led to widespread use of the Internet from many different kinds of devices.Which of the following makes this possible?

Answer 1

Answer:

Open standards and protocols.

Explanation:

A network is the platform on which two or more devices can share resources. The laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones and other devices are end devices in a large wireless network called the internet.

They are able to communicate wireless, though they are of different brands and specifications. The information technology has evolved to promote this interconnection of devices by introducing open standards and protocols for generally agree use, rather than proprietary standards of individual companies that will not communicate.

The OSI and TCP/IP suite model of networking has been generally accepted by most companies (if not all) as the standard of communication.
