Answer:

A "LAN" stands for Local Area Network. It's just what it sounds like. A group of private computers that are connected by a common private network. If you have 2 computers in your home, and they are both connected to each other, either by cable or Wi-Fi, it is considered a LAN.
The World Wide Web is considered a WAN. Wide Area Network.
Does that help.

yes
