Sharing an internet connection - Only one connection is needed for all the PCs, whether it’s a dial-up account or a high-speed (also known as “broadband”) connection via the phone company (“DSL”) or the cable company. Everyone in the home can be online at the same time, and most internet accounts allow for multiple email addresses, so everyone can have their own individual email account as well.

 

Convenience – You can think of this like the comparison to having more than one bathroom in the house! No need to “wait your turn” to use the computer!
