Difference between Minicomputer and Packet switching

Minicomputer vs. Packet switching

A minicomputer, or colloquially mini, is a class of smaller computers that was developed in the mid-1960s and sold for much less than mainframe and mid-size computers from IBM and its direct competitors. Packet switching is a method of grouping data which is transmitted over a digital network into packets which are made of a header and a payload.
