What describes a process in which two or more computers or devices transfer data instructions and information?

Communications. Computer communications describe a process in which two or more computers or devices transfer data, instructions and information. Even the smallest computers and devices can communicate directly with one another, often via the Internet.

What is computer communication process?

1. The process by which people create, exchange, and perceive information using networked communication classifications. It also includes nonnetworked computers that facilitate encoding, transmitting, and decoding information.

What communication system that connects two or more computers?

SUMMARY. When two or more computers are connected together so they can communicate with one another, they form a network.

What type of communication is used to transfer information between computer?

Computers process data as digital signals. Data, instructions, and information travel along a communications channel in either analog or digital form, depending on the com- munications channel. An analog signal consists of a continuous electrical wave.
