Client/server computing is the logical extension of modular programming. Modular programming has as its fundamental assumption that separation of a large piece of software into its constituent parts ("modules") creates the possibility for easier development and better maintainability. Client/server computing takes this a step farther by recognizing that those modules need not all be executed within the same memory space. With this architecture, the calling module becomes the "client" (that which requests a service), and the called module becomes the "server" (that which provides the service). The logical extension of this is to have clients and servers running on the appropriate hardware and software platforms for their functions. For example, database management system servers running on platforms specially designed and configured to perform queries, or file servers running on platforms with special elements for managing files. It is this latter perspective that has created the widely-believed myth that client/server has something to do with PCs or Unix machines.

Client/server system is nothing but a system to distribute the work for a group working from different geographical locations.This is very common now a days in many IT solution organizations as th client part is working in different geographical locations. Client,in computer sc. technology is meant for the remote part of a system where there is a central(main)part for that system,in which that remote or client part usually access the resources of that central part.Server is that central part. For the last question, one thing that I would like to add is that, most of the organizations are becoming "distributed" means,they are not confined into a single building.What I want to say, most of the organizations have many parts and also their business partners situated in different geographical locations. So to access same data or information simultaneously,it is obvious that they have to have a system where every part can access the data required from a single place.
