ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Parallel computing

Parallel computing is like when you have a lot of hands working on something together. Instead of one computer doing a task, multiple computers work together to get it done faster. This can save time and make things run smoother. You might have heard of a "computer network" - that's when computers are talking to each other to help each other out - and parallel computing is the same thing but with even more computers. It's like having hundreds or even thousands of helpers!
