IS MODEM IS ESSENTIAL FOR NET CONNECTION? WHAT IS ITS USES?

Yes, MODEM is essential for net connection.
The term ‘modem’ is really derived from modulator-demodulator, which basically explains what this device is for. In simple terms, this device ‘translates’ signals from one form to the other. Its function is to modulate or convert the digital signals from your computer so that it can be transmitted through your phone wires.

It also does its job the other way around. That is to demodulate analog signals from your phone wires into digital signals and data that your computer can make use of.
