Switches
The basic hardware building blocks to interconnect network nodes include network interface cards (NICs) for connecting devices to the network, switches for connecting multiple devices within a local network, routers for managing traffic between different networks, and cables or wireless connections for transmitting data between nodes.
The Internet has changed communications by allowing computer networks to interconnect.
No. A hub is hardware that connects different devices within a single network. You probably are thinking of a switch or router.
NASDAQ is an exchange. An exchange is a place where transactions takes place (Buy/Sell). ECN is an electronics communication networks and is completely different to an exchange.
I am not sure what you mean by incompatible... But routers serve as connection points between different networks. Also if you meant fiber optic to twisted pair to coax then there are special converters that allow to do that.
In Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the main types of characteristics include hardware, software, and networks. Hardware refers to the physical devices and equipment, such as computers and peripherals. Software encompasses the applications and programs that run on hardware, enabling users to perform tasks. Networks facilitate communication and data exchange between devices, forming the backbone of ICT systems.

An internetwork is a collection of individual networks, such as LANs or WANs, connected by routers to enable communication across different networks. It allows devices on different networks to exchange data by forwarding packets between them. The internet is a prime example of a vast internetwork connecting millions of networks worldwide.
An Internet Exchange Point (IXP) is a physical infrastructure that enables different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and networks to connect and exchange Internet traffic with one another.

Oh, dude, it's like this - interconnect is when two different telecom networks agree to connect and exchange calls or data, while roaming is when you use your phone on another network outside your usual coverage area. It's like crashing at a friend's place versus staying at a hotel - both involve being somewhere else, but one is a more official arrangement.
