Jen's house contains the following devices: • Jen's laptop that is wirelessly connected to the home network router and turned on
• Her husband's PC, which connects to the router by a cable but is turned off
• Her mother's virus-infected computer that has been unplugged from the router
• Her daughter's smartphone that is wirelessly connected to the router
If Jen's daughter is talking on her phone, and Jen's husband's computer is off, which computers are currently
networked?
O All four, because they are all computers in the house, regardless of their present usage.
Jen's laptop and her daughter's phone, because they are both connected to the router and turned on.
Just Jen's laptop, because her mom's computer is not connected to the router, her husband's computer is off, and her daughter's
phone is not currently acting as a computer.
None of them, because a network must have at least two devices wired by cable before it can be called a network

Jen's laptop and her daughter's phone, because they are both connected to the router and turned on.

Explanation:

A network comprises of two or more interconnected devices such as computers, routers, switches, smartphones, tablets, etc. These interconnected devices avail users the ability to communicate and share documents with one another over the network.

Additionally, in order for a network to exist or be established, the devices must be turned (powered) on and interconnected either wirelessly or through a cable (wired) connection.

Hence, the computers which are currently networked are Jen's laptop and her daughter's phone, because they are both connected to the router and turned on. A smartphone is considered to be a computer because it receives data as an input and processes the input data into an output (information) that is useful to the end user.
