Usually this is done to allow groups of people to share data without having to e-mail it or put it to some kind of storeage unit. Using a network allows for easy access between computers of data, if it is allowed.

it is easier to transfer data over a network than to burn cd's or even make floppy disks full of data to transfer to another computer.

Also it allows some people to control another computer or a bunch of computers from a single server.

Without networks, you would not have been able to get online to ask your question

Without a network, transferring files back and forth between computers would require "invisible networking"; physically copying those files to removable media, transporting them to the other machine and then uploading.

Networking means you can centralise bulk data on a Network Access Storage device and/or each machine can expose certain data to the network, or to specific computers on the network. You can also make use of a single network printer rather than needing separate dedicated printers on each machine, or alternatively share the connected printers across the network.

internet access is also much easier when all machines can access the same connection simultaneously. Without a network, only one machine can have access at a time.

Although networking is all about sharing, it is not a requirement that everything be shared. A machine can still be part of a network but share nothing other than the internet connection if that is all that is required.

Connecting computers in a network will allow them to communicate with eachother and use the same internet connection. It is ideal for allowing files to be shared among computers within your home or office.

Each computer will need to have a Network Interface Card and you will need a Cat5 cable for each. In a home network you typically will use a router (Netgear, D-Link, Cisco, etc). Home routers generally have ports to connect 4 computers (but routers with more ports are available).

Most laptops now are sold with a built in Wireless NIC that can connect to a wireless router. The wireless NICs can also be purchased for desktop computers.

A network is nothing but group of computers connected. To connect computers connecting devices are used like rj45 , Switch , routers etc. We make network to make computers communicate and exchange information.

Will networked computers replace personal computers in business application?

networked computers are just normal personal computers connect together businesses usually connect them in a network to fill business needs e.g. to provide Internet or to monitor productivity... so to answer you question most big business will have this and a fair few smaller business will have this setup or will have. The limitations is that in companies the regular users can not add programs and they do not have admin control, so they need their own computers to do some functions and the networked computers are highly monitered, so they may want privacy.
