Actually, a MAC address (MAC standing for Media Access Control) is given to a computers NIC (network interface card. So the assumption that ALL computer devices has a MAC address is incorrect. It is only the NIC that has the MAC address. It is used to let a computer that is on a network and receiving a file from another computer know where that file is originating from. It is also used to let the sending computer know where to send its file to.

For network devices, it's a MAC address. MAC stands for 'media access control' and it's a unique identifier that's present in all hardware that interfaces with a traditional computer network.
