I hear the word server in all sorts of contexts whenever computers are involved. What is a server and how does it relate to a PC?
In: Technology
A server is a role, like in a restaurant. But behind the scene it’s just a computer, like servers in a restaurant are humans like you.
A server will answer specific requests made by clients, again exactly like in a restaurant : can I have a bottle of water” and “display the content of this page I just clicked on” are two request that servers will answer. It really is similar to a restaurant.
