The second group of key elements of a network are the devices that process the information.
Devices are required to convert the information from one form into another one.
The modem for instance converts analog signals from the telephone line into digital signals and vice versa.
Devices are required to encode and decode the information in various formats.
For instance a scanner will convert a picture into an array of pixels.
