Connecting computers to each other to share files and other information. Gamers use it quite often at LAN parties, because you can hook all the computers together wih almost no lag, ping less than 10ms. Besides gaming LAN is very useful for just about anyone who has lots of computers in one place. Hospitals, businesses, libraries, the government, schools etc..

Yeah basically just networking computers directly to each other, as opposed to the internet
