-------Is a group of computers linked together so that they act as one computer?

Cluster


Most computers consist of many computers and are usually connected by a networking devices such as a hub switch or access point?

This sentence is not a well-formed question. However, I believe the subject matter being referenced is a "Computer Network" An Intranet is a group of computers that are connected together either by physical cable or wireless signals. When multiple computer networks, or intranets, are connected together they form an Internet. Since a computer is a singular machine consisting of both mechanical and circuit-encoded parts, it does not consist of "many computers". Some corrections of the initial sentence structure may be required in order to obtain the proper answer for the actual question intended.


When a group of computers aare linked together it is called what?

When a group of computers are linked together, it is called a network. A network allows computers to communicate and share resources such as files, printers, and internet connections. There are different types of networks, including local area networks (LANs) which are confined to a small geographic area, and wide area networks (WANs) which can span across cities or even countries. Networking protocols like TCP/IP govern how data is transmitted and received within a network.
