An independent marine research station and wildlife sanctuary operates several standalone desktop computers used for logging telemetry from ocean sensors, storing high-resolution drone footage of marine mammal migrations, managing volunteer rosters, and drafting scientific reports. The station is planning to connect these computers to form a Local Area Network (LAN) with internet access.
Discuss the benefits and risks to the research station of transitioning from standalone computers to a networked system.
