 # Sharing Resources
-Sometimes diffrent programs (or same program) may share resources.
+Sometimes different programs (or same program) may share resources.
 
 If data is **sequentially** accessible, programs should take turns accessing resource/data.
 
 Fast shared resource access can create **concurrent** access.
 
+# Concurrency
+Unlike parallelism, concurrency is not always about running faster.
+- Single cpu/core computers may also use concurrency.
+
+Useful for:
+- App responsiveness.
+- Processor utilization (hide IO time)
+- Failure isolation
