Network Interface Card

A Network Interface Card (NIC) is a hardware component inside a computer that allows it to connect to a network, such as the internet or a local network. It acts as a translator, enabling your computer to communicate with other devices by sending and receiving data. NICs can be built-in or added separately, and they come in different types like Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Essentially, the NIC is the bridge that links your computer to the network, making online communication possible.
