Blog: P2P

File sharing is to be able to share one certain type of data from one system device to another system device. P2P file sharing is also known as peer to peer file sharing. It is the distribution of digital media using a network that supports peer to peer platforms. An example of a peer to peer file sharing application would be LimeWire. When I was younger, I would spend hours on limewire trying to download entertainment sources such as music and videos also known as mp3s and mp4s. In the article Peers Find Less Pressure Borrowing From Each Other,  it says "peer-to-peer lending operates like a marketplace" which means that applications that are p2p are like sharing websites. So for example, limewire, people were able to share their music and videos with each other online throughout the internet.

For example, in a video game called Minecraft, it is a lego cartoon based virtual world created for children to be able to freely express their creativity and to be able explore the virtual world. Virtual worlds can also be used for simulations, escape from reality, video games, etc. The pros of virtual reality is that is can possibly and potentially be better than reality, it connects people, can be used for rehabilitation, provides a safe way to build skills in challenging or risky tasks, allows skills to be developed at one's own pace. The cons of virtual reality is that it can create a disconnection from the real world and the virtual world, it is costly, it could possibly reduce ones creativity.
