Answer 3

Your mom is right, unless you get a router.  I recommend getting a router because not only will you be able to connect multiple computers to each other via router, allowing you to share resources, files, hardware, etc.  it will also provide you with tighter security as your computer won't be directly connected to the modem. It will be behind your router thus hiding potential information you may not want others to know about. Outside connections/computers (e.g. hackers) will have to get pass your router before they can go further.
