Greedy source

Okay kiddo, so do you know what the word 'greedy' means? It means someone who wants everything for themselves and doesn't like to share with others.

Now, let's talk about a 'source'. A source is where something comes from. For example, if you want to make lemonade, the source of the lemons would be the lemon tree.

So, a 'greedy source' means that the place where something comes from doesn't like to share what it has with others.

In computer terms, a greedy source could mean a program or network that takes up too much resources like memory, CPU, or bandwidth and doesn't let other programs or users access it. This can be a problem because it slows down the entire system and no one else can use it.

So, just like in real life, being greedy is not nice and can cause problems for everyone involved.
