That may be an interesting thing to talk about, but by that definition
most current stuff called "networking" isn't.  For example, my house
LAN at home then isn't "networking", because the sharing is not set up
to appear seamless; accessing remote resources requires distinctive
action of some sort, as compared to similar access to local resources.
